There are plenty of available versions of the Mozart Violin Concertos, but few that can match the recordings David Oistrakh made in Berlin back in 1971. His big, juicy tone is irresistible, as is his flowing legato line and the intensity with which he elevates what sometimes (in unsympathetic performances) can seem like mere juvenilia. The first two of Mozart’s concertos for solo violin do display less variety and depth than the later ones, but the 19-year-old was a fast learner, writing all five of them within eight months in 1775.
The early concertos are fetching works, but by the Third we’re in different territory: orchestration is more varied and interesting, the violin part more brilliant, and, as Alfred Einstein wrote, “… there is an Adagio that seems to have fallen straight from heaven.” That’s how Oistrakh plays it, too, spinning gorgeously tinted, lovingly caressed lines, eliciting an other-worldly orchestral entrance at its start. Here as elsewhere, his playing is alive with subtle rubatos that always seem to intensify the music without breaking the line. Listening to playing at this exalted level, you’re always wondering, “how in the world did he do that?”
The brief but strikingly beautiful Rondo in C is the filler, and here we’re witness to the way Oistrakh’s magic extends to his “conducting”–which means rehearsing the orchestra and cueing the players from his solo position during performance. Although their numbers are far greater than the attenuated Mozart orchestra lineups preferred today, the Berliners play with rhythmic alertness and never sound spongy.–Dan Davis
