“this is the first time he has tried recording them without a conductor in the eighteenth-century way; The result is an enormous success. The orchestra lacks nothing in precision, while the balance is the best I ever remember in these works.. His tone escapes from the orchestral web exactly when it should, and one hears every orchestral detail without losing a note of the solo part. These are in fact superb recordings. David Oistrakh’s playing is tremendously good.” (Gramophone)
