This clip introduces David Oistrakh, who took his place amongst giants such as Heifetz and Milstein as one of the greatest contemporary violinists of all time. Clips of the Sibelius and 1st Shostakovich vks are shown, as well as an orchestral version of Rachmaninov's Prelude in Bb, with Kondrashin directing. You might also catch glimpse of yet another great Soviet violinist, Leonid Kogan.
