Description
“you can’t go wrong with Oistrakh’s pre-authenticity Mozart. True, this is big-boned, dyed in the wool Mozart, 1960’s style. Tempi are relaxed, textures quite heavy and the ethos masculine and robust … subtle shadings are there – but the prevailing spirit is strong-limbed engagement. K216 was always one of his best pieces of Mozart playing … he also contributes his own, rather good, cadenzas … second movement characteristically expressive and full of the artist’s noble warmth, and a spirit of romance enlivens the finale. Sinfonia Concertante opens at a real maestoso-qualified Allegro. Directed from the viola by Barshai … once again, there’s real affection in the Andante and the finale is nicely buoyant” (MusicWeb)
