This recording is a gem in the classical music repertoire, capturing a unique collaboration between two of the 20th century’s greatest violinists—Isaac Stern and David Oistrakh. Their performance under the baton of Eugene Ormandy with the Philadelphia Orchestra showcases not only their talents but also their ability to blend and complement each other, bringing out the intricate dialogue that Vivaldi composed between the two violins.
