the great quality of Grieg's music is that it sounds as fresh when you hear it for the hundredth time as when you heard it the first.

Mein Gott, der hat halt noch mit Ton gespielt! Und die Phrasen so schön weitergeführt, als wär´s Gesang! Für die Nörgler: ja, mit der heutigen digitalen Aufnahmetechnik hätte man die wenigen Mini-Kratzer leicht wegretuschiert. Zum Glück bei dieser Aufnahme nicht! Denn diese ultra-wenigen "groben" Einsätze machen ja erst den Charakter aus. Sehe ich gleich wie bei der Callas, die auch nicht jeden Ton "schön" singt und auch dadurch so ausdrucksstark wirkt, weil sie ihr Temperament zulässt! Vielen Dank für´s Hochladen!

So pensive and introverted and poetic this piano opening - then Oistrakh entering like a lightning bolt - amazing playing. Never heard something like that live.

The chamber music of Grieg exhibits great qualities. He wrote (or at least published) three sonatas for violin and piano, one sonata for cello and piano, one string quartet. This second sonata for violin and piano exhibits rather melancholic features, even when it becomes more agitated. An indirect proof of quality is the interest of the great Oistrakh for it.There is a sort of perpetuous rubato perfectly rendered by the performers.

Magnifique Sonate de Grieg merveilleuse bien interprétée !

Звук "Царя Давида"! Прекрасное уникальное ансамблевое исполнение! Браво!

OISTRAKH il piu' grande di tutti i tempi .complimenti anche a Volodia Yampolsky

Klare und perfekt artikulierte Interpretation dieses romantischen Meisterwerks im inspirierenden Tempo mit entschiedenen Töne der Violine und glänzenden Klänge des Klaviers. Echt unvergleichlich!

I should have added: this can best be done with the finest of musicians who sense share and reveal the beauty, humanity and ingenuity of Grieg's work, with its characteristic wild elan.Oistrakh and Yampolsky are master exponents, a wonderful brotherhood in empathy.

A gift to combine the profoundest of beliefs with the most romantic of feelings which, of course, may often coincide, yet few composers can match Grieg so lyrically in this quest.

This music sounds like its roots are in folk music.

Stunning - what great music and music making. Thank you -John

Beautiful..., Thanks a lot.

Thankso much for sharing!

This is the best

Beautiful in every way. But the poignant sadness doesn’t come out enough imo. The recording of Heifetz with Brooks Smith is tear jerkingly fantastic.

Precioso

amazing! absolutely beutiful

10:43 Sounds a lot like the second movement of Violin Sonata 3.

Great,amazing ♫♪

A powerful&intense performance,almost too much so,taking away some of the joyous freshness.The too-close violin,(a common fault of that epoch's recordings)diminishes much of the harmonic richness in an already dry-inclined interpretation,the backward piano unable to contribute fully to,e.g:the 1st"tutti"4.08,and similar.But the superb violin"texture," the vitality&force of musical conviction carry all before it,quibbles forgotten for this sunniest of masterpieces.

좋다~~

This work is less knowwn than the third sonata which is perhaps more romantic in that sense rhat some personal feelings seem to appear in it (it was rold rhat Grief weote it afr ter a dispute with his wife). Here the romantusm appears under that peculiar aspect which is the folhlotic tune.

It's Oborin, not Yampolskiy

It's not Yampolsky. Oborin.
