Eugene Ormandy
Vladimir Yampolsky (piano)
(Tchaikovsky) “warm, relaxed and romantic, has the right degree of restraint in the obvious lyrical moments … it is completely convincing” (Sibelius) “Oistrakh in the Sibelius concerto is of course to be recommended – this is a fine bargain, especially as Ormandy, too, is in excellent form … the Philadelphia strings are both very strong and very impressive” (Gramophone)
