The Violin: Music of Angels

Last night I listened to the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto--David Oistrakh with Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra. Wow. Fine Musicianship. Oistrakh's playing is so controlled--especially his rhythm, which seems to have infinite flexibility without sacrificing any of the musical continuity.

I'd encourage all you classical music lovers out there to get a copy; I got it from our local library.

I have a hard time deciding which violin concerto I enjoy more: Tchaikovsky or Brahms.
