Dear friends!
Required to view! Amazing film about D.Oistrakh!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b28ItErX4FM/
A film by Bruno Monsaingeon
This is the story of David Oistrakh, the Russian violinist referred to as "King David" in his homeland. His powerful tone, precise technique, and highly emotional style made him a worldwide legend, influencing an entire generation of players. Oistrakh, who remained in Russia his entire life (1908-1974) despite persecution for being Jewish, taught at the Tchaikovsky Conservatory in Moscow, and performed as a solo artist from age 20 until his death. A specialist in late Classical and Romantic works, his recordings of many Romantic masterworks, especially the Brahms Violin Concerto, are considered to be without peer. The Brahms Violin Concerto and excerpts from other works are featured in the film. There are also interviews with Oistrakh's lifelong friends and fellow musicians: Yehudi Menuhin speaks on what made Oistrakh a great violinist; Mistislav Rostropovitch talks of Oistrakh's relationship with the Soviet regime; Gidon Kremer recalls Oistrakh as a teacher; Gennady Rozhdestvensky , his conductor, recalls Oistrakh the performer; and son Igor Oistrakh recalls his father as a family man and musician. This film is an inspiring look at a man whose stated goal as an artist was to bring the rich world of classical violin music to everyday people

1 replyDavid Oistrakh biography: Personality
January 16, 2012 00:32Reading the memoirs of contemporaries, or looking at a wonderful album Evelyn Richter and Ernst Krause involuntarily begin to envy those who had the good fortune to communicate with David Fyodorovich Oistrakh. Generosity, kindness, ability to make friends, access - these Oistrakh-man no less valuable to us than his work.
«Since it was so interesting to talk, be together, that I always forget about time. It seemed minutes, but ran hours ... I was totally amazed how much he played - not engaged. And played. He liked to play house for their friends, and how to play! ... Sometimes when he has many friends, and how much heat is radiated it to them! Everyone was in his welcome "- wrote the then first-year student Conservatory Kogan of Professor David Oistrakh.
Another most valuable quality Oistrakh, Artist and Man: a heightened sense of duty. Until the last minute before the next tour he was in the conservatory, so he felt a deep responsibility to their students.
«Makes me nervous that Owl can not see his children, students this fall. If you have seen what they have become sad eyes when they hear about another of my departure ... ».
For him there was no notion - "the abolition of the concert." After all, people have bought tickets, came to the meeting and the meeting at any cost is to be held!
Life and creative graphic David Oistrakh was always extremely tight, but even in spite of constant acceleration, there was room for a joke. "Held in Moscow a few difficult days between two difficult journey - he wrote to his son. - Not enough time or strength. In a word - grief! But a nice fire ».
As any native of Odessa, he was good fun to tell jokes, enthusiastically played chess and tennis, he loved books: fiction, books on art and history, he adored his "Zhiguli" and was interested in technological innovations ... have always found time to write a letter to their most close people ...
«I know that the world has become much poorer and more boring with his loss. He was a golden man "(Isaac Stern).

Special passion Oistrakh was ensemble playing.
«I very much like chamber music. It gives great joy not only students, but primarily by the participants ».
Game with worthy partners perceived them as a form of intellectual and at the same time the heart of communication.
Many years there was a surprisingly harmonious duet with pianist David Oistrakh, Lev Oborin and the famous trio, when they were joined by cellist Svyatoslav Knushevitsky. Despite intense solo concerts and work in the conservatory, they tried as often as possible to gather for joint rehearsals.
From the review of the trio tour in Leipzig:
«We often hear how the performance of chamber works excellent soloists, with all perfect, each member of the ensemble remained soloist, playing in the foreground. The Soviet guests all in a different way: each subject a whole, while remaining humble servant of the performed music. A perfect play music band can hardly be imagined. »
Oistrakh drawn into the orbit "an ensemble of communication" future world star - Sviatoslav Richter. Igor Oistrakh later recalled that his father often quoted the example of a game Richter, who performed the miracles of ensemble sensitivity. Later, the ensemble joined by Mstislav Rostropovich.

David Oistrakh biography: Conductor
January 16, 2012 00:28Dream of the conductor's stand, he nursed for many years. First time Oistrakh rose for the panel, when he was over 50 ...
«I came to conducting is not accidental. It is a dream of early childhood. I've always perceived as conductor magician who brings to life unearthly sounds. I felt great happiness to subdue the element of orchestral sound. And with all my love for the violin, continuing for life, I wanted to rule over those colors, which can only orchestra.
Attracts a conductor, and the joy of psychological contact with the orchestra, the elusive emotional attraction, which occurs every time during the joint work.
I am deeply convinced that the conductor can be obtained only that which pleases the orchestra, in other words, only that interpretation, which corresponds to the artistic aspirations of the collective. And in this, I think the clue as to why a conductor is successful in his work, and the other - no.
Conductor, as a doctor. If something goes wrong, it must internally guess the disease and find a path to recovery. Working with the orchestra, I want to see the eyes of each musician. While I lucky: I always see in his eyes understanding and desire to help. Participants come to rehearsals with a desire to give the best that they have., You only need them not to disappoint ... To be a good teacher, especially not to be bored, the same rule applies to the art of orchestral conducting.
Of course, this art has its own problems of technical mastery. But let me be forgiven dirirzhery, they are still much simpler than those faced by the instrumentalists. It must only be able to overlook their shortcomings.
What is infinitely attracts me dirirzhirovanii - so it is a boundless number of first-class works of art created for an orchestra ... ».
«Conducting more to me than a pleasure, more than a holiday from the usual. It expands the horizon, new challenges, discover new worlds! And what could be more beautiful than to continue to learn new and old age? »

"When you're dealing with talented youth, which closely monitor the growth of young musicians, often to find answers to questions posed by myself in the process. Sometimes you see how your student intuitively or deliberately solves the problem over which you have often had to think. Gradually, summed up the new experience, and ultimately have a salutary effect on its own performing arts ".
His students David F. admonished the following words: "Strive to know more. narrowness of outlook, lack of interest can make a feeble any talent. Avoid the narrowness of the repertory.

David Oistrakh biography: Performer
January 16, 2012 00:25
Oistrakh - born musician with exceptional natural talent. Can a normal kid to stop their antics from the fact that he threatened not to go with my mother in the theater and did not hear the orchestra, the sound is literally fascinated?
"I was three and a half years old when my father brought home a toy fiddle," playing "with which I am very happy fancies himself a street musician... I thought not and could not be happier than go from house to house with a violin ".
Dream come true pretty soon. Touring journey Oistrakh - concerts soloist, began when he was barely 16 years old. His first and only music teacher called David F. eminent violin teacher - Peter Stolyarsky, creator of the famous schools - this factory talents. The teacher, in turn, recalled that his best pupil "with childhood showed exceptionally brilliant and almost breakneck speed along the road of mastering a difficult violin playing".
"When I think of myself in those years, it seems to me that I was playing quite freely and fluently, tonally pure. But there is still have many years of hard work over the sound, rhythm and dynamics. of course, most importantly, a deep comprehension of the inner content ".
Then there was a landmark meeting with Alexander Konstantinovich Glazunov, and the invitation to speak in Leningrad. And finally - moving to Moscow, where he was to gain prestige, the name. The great creative will, desire and ability to work, a thirst for self-improvement led him to a brilliant victory in the competition named Eugene Ysaye in Brussels. Hence, in 1937, the international fame Oistrakh. Then the news spread around the world about the "appearance of violinist worldwide".
Oistrakh in Moscow he was in classes most prominent professors of the Moscow Conservatory Violin - Lev Zeitlin, Abram Yampolsky and Constantine Mostras, listening to a set of Soviet and foreign artists, but to learn from everyone, he wrote in his motion to the heights of artistic maturity was obliged to myself itself.
Technical difficulties for Oistrakh did not exist, while no one remembers that he was rehearsing for 25 hours a day. His violin repertoire was enormous, but he gave preference to large canvases - a concert of Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Brahms, Sibelius, Glazunov and Shostakovich. This was a choice rather than a virtuoso, as artist-philosopher. His creative thought gave birth to all new and new interpretations of works, play with it countless times. Not by accident, as recognized by the Oistrakh, he did not like to listen to their records, so that they allowed him to move forward. With particular force and a powerful intellect temper included when Oistrakh had to play the premiere of a new, modern works. For it was written, you can say "library" of works, crowned with such masterpieces as the sonata by Prokofiev, concerts of Shostakovich and Aram Khachaturian.
Never - even in childhood - Oistrakh no one to emulate. And this despite the fact that at that time with him on the international musical Olympus was Fritz Kreisler, Jascha Heifitz, Yehudi Menuhin, Joseph Szigeti, George Enescu, Isaac Stern, Myron Polyakin and many others.
60 years, he never let go of the hands of the violin, has traveled throughout Europe and North America, Japan, Australia and New Zealand, has performed with leading orchestras in the world, and most eminent of his colleagues gave him the palm. "On stage, Oistrakh impression of the Colossus - wrote an outstanding American violinist Isaac Stern. - He stands firm on the ground, he proudly holds a fiddle, he creates music, pouring in an endless stream of beauty and elegance".
