Oistrakh/Goldenweiser/Levina - David Oistrakh: Recorded Rarities from Melodiya

This CD contains three rare recordings by the great Soviet violinist David Oistrakh. Not only was he a master interpreter of the classics, Oistrakh was a champion of the violin works by his contemporaries, and his recordings of the compositions by Prokofiev, Khachaturian, Miakovsky, Taneyev and Shostakovich are considered definitive. Curiously, however, Oistrakh�s recording of the Violin Sonata No.3 by Nicolai Medtner has never been reissued commercially on CD.
