About this album
A distinguished 1969 recital pairing Franck and Brahms, this release shows why David Oistrach and Sviatoslav Richter were among the great chamber-music interpreters of the 20th century. Franck’s Violin Sonata in A major and Brahms’s Violin Sonata No. 3 in D minor demand both ardour and structural control, and the duo meet them with singing tone, taut ensemble and complete authority. Recorded in an era when Soviet virtuosity was setting international standards, the performances balance Romantic sweep with clarity of line, making this a landmark account of two cornerstone sonatas in the violin-piano repertoire.
