Violin Concerto n. 2, op. 129
DAVID OISTRAKH, violin
(two live performances)
London Symphony Orchestra
EUGENE ORMANDY (november 17, 1967)
Orchestre National de l'ORTF
JEAN MARTINON (october 10, 1971)
Two little known live performances starring "King David",
the first and the greatest performer of this Concerto.
Composed in spring 1967, it is also the last concert for soloist and orchestra written by Shostakovich, as 60th birthday gift for its dedicatee, David Oistrakh. Premiered unofficially in Bolshevo, near Moscow (13 September 1967) and officially on 26 September in Moscow, of course by Oistrakh himself (with the Moscow Philharmonic under Kirill Kondrashin).

This concerto is still nowadays less performed that the first one, in 4 movements.
Many thanks for this post featuring the great Oistrakh in performances out of the former USSR.
Oistrakh is always so musical but the colors of both orchestral forces are quite different.
Ormandy left great recordings of Shostakovitch works but I don't remember any recording of the Violin Concertos under him. Same regarding the (great) Martinon.
What makes this post even more unique.
