The recording of Bach's Violin Concertos in A minor (BWV 1041) and E major (BWV 1042) with David Oistrakh is regarded by critics as a benchmark among classic interpretations of these works.

Characteristic are Oistrakh's full, sonorous tone and his noble legato phrasing.
The A minor Concerto surges with drive and drama, its central Andante shaped into a deeply expressive song without words.
In the radiant E major Concerto, Oistrakh balances dazzling virtuosity with lyrical tenderness, revealing Bach's perfect union of clarity and soul.

A landmark recording that speaks to both seasoned connoisseurs and explorers of the timeless beauty of Bach.
