David Oistrakh - Brahms Sonata In D Minor Tartini Devils Trill Sonata In G Minor

Review by Jorge Araujo

David Oistrakh's performance of the Brahms Sonata in D Minor and Tartini's Devil's Trill Sonata in G Minor is a remarkable achievement. As a world-renowned violinist, Oistrakh brings his unique interpretation and technical finesse to these two masterpieces.

In the Brahms Sonata, Oistrakh's tone is rich and full-bodied, seamlessly weaving through the intricate melodies and harmonies. The second movement is particularly noteworthy, with Oistrakh's expressive playing conveying a sense of melancholy and longing.

The Devil's Trill Sonata is a virtuosic piece that showcases Oistrakh's exceptional technique. His playing is precise and controlled, yet still imbued with emotion and passion. The final movement is a tour de force, with Oistrakh navigating the challenging runs and trills with ease and grace.
