Description
(Tartini) “the Oistrakh version remains unrivalled … (he) commands a winning sweetness of tone … and is helped by a rounder and richer recorded quality.”
(Vivaldi): “the harpsichord comes to life with a vengeance, being especially enterprising in the finale. The playing of the two soloists is, needless to say, the height of efficiency.” (Gramophone)
