Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
Sony has brought together Shostakovitch's greatest concertos in first recordings made soon after their American premieres by the artists most closely identified with them. Neither performance has been bettered, though some, such as Vengerov's Teldec Violin Concerto, come close. The Violin Concerto is in solid, detailed mono; the Cello Concerto in fine stereo. Oistrakh goes to the heart of the violin work, playing with extraordinary tonal magnificence and emotional power. He's matched by Mitropoulos, whose identification with the score is apparent. Rostropovitch is as good in the Cello Concerto, getting excellent support from Ormandy's Philadelphians. Both performances share the white heat of fresh discovery and have stood the test of time to become classic recordings. --Dan Davis

Amazon.com:
Eugene Ormandy was Shostakovich's great interpreter (along with Bernstein) in the West, and he was entrusted with many U.S. premiers of the great Russian composer's symphonies and concertos. This recording of the First Cello Concerto was made while both the composer and his cellist friend were on tour in the United States, so it has the imprimatur of Shostakovich himself. The Violin Concerto similarly was recorded just days after its U.S. premiere in New York with the Oistrakh, for whom it was written. This is as distinguished a pair of performances as you're likely to hear, and although the Violin Concerto is mono, the sound never gets in the way of your enjoyment. An event. --David Hurwitz

- Great performances of Shostakovich
I'll make this brief; the other reviewer have said what I would have stated, that this is a great recording. The one thing I would like to add, as an avid violin (and cello, my sister is a cellist) fan, is that the sheer intensity and almost raw (without being crude) power of these recordings, especially the Oistrakh, put them in a class by themselves. The violin cadenza literally knocks you out of your chair. I can't think of a single contemporary violinist who could approach this. There is something ... Read More

- I join the chorus...
... in praising this release. I still have the lps from which they are drawn, as well as this current issue. I would like to draw attention to two other recordings that will be of interest here. Russian Disc RD CD 11 025 contains performances of both violin concertos, the First performed by Leonid Kogan, from 1962, and the Second by David Oistrakh, from 1968. The orchestra in both concertos is the Moscow Philharmonic, conducted by Kiril Kondrashin.

These are excellent performances, in good ... Read More

- Oistrakh plays Shostakovich Violinconcerto nr.1 (1956)
It is a wonderful and historic recording in perfect quality - mono but that doesn't matter.

Rating:

- historic, impressive
The Oistrakh performance of the violin concerto is in mono but is tolerable. Although he certainly overplays in some other contexts (I'm thinking of his Bach violin concerto interpretations), Oistrakh gives a satisfying rendition of Shostakovich in this historic recording. But it is the Rostropovich that shines. Though in stereo, the sonics here, too, are dated. Rostropovich's cello practically leaps through the recording to grab you by the throat. New territory, new music, new mind. You can hear ... Read More

- Great recording
I was most interested in the cello concerto of the cd (I am a cellist). For reviews on the violin concerto, best to read other reviews.
For the cello concerto, one simple comment: the piece was written for Rostropovich, who plays it in this recording. It's a great version to have because of this. Rostropovich plays it extremely well and I find it very musical and enjoyable :)

the cd is worth 5 stars just because of this, although you can get recordings of Rostropovich playing this ... Read More
