[00:12 - 00:17]
From Music Hall in Cincinnati we present another concert by the Cincinnati Symphony
[00:17 - 00:21]
Orchestra. Recorded during a performance by WGC University of
[00:21 - 00:23]
Cincinnati radio station.
[00:23 - 00:28]
These programs are made possible through a grant from the national educational radio network and with the
[00:28 - 00:33]
cooperation of the Cincinnati musician to aviation. Max Rudolf is music director
[00:33 - 00:38]
of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. And on this program the soloists are David and Igor Oistrakh.
[00:38 - 00:43]
Each of them will play a concerto. It will open the program they join in the Bach Concerto in D
[00:43 - 00:46]
minor for two violins and orchestra.
[00:46 - 00:50]
David I struck stands today as one of the world's great violinists.
[00:50 - 00:55]
Yet it wasn't until 1955 that audiences in the United States had the opportunity to hear
[00:55 - 01:00]
him except by the few recordings that found their way to this country and at that time
[01:00 - 01:05]
we struck was 46 and had been long established on the continent. It looks as though
[01:05 - 01:10]
the voice broke tradition and violin virtuosity is here for some time to come because David
[01:10 - 01:15]
son Igor has already made a great name for himself on the concert stage.
[01:15 - 01:21]
After the Bach Double Concerto which we are to hear shortly. Igor plays the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto.
[01:21 - 01:26]
And David Oistrakh concludes a program with a Beethoven concerto about
[01:26 - 01:30]
concertos for single double or triple solo instruments are all more or less interchangeable
[01:30 - 01:35]
with various instruments other than the ones for which they were written work which we are about to hear
[01:35 - 01:41]
exists also as a two cleverer concerto in C minor.
[01:41 - 01:45]
Now the soloist David then you go and are with conductor
[01:45 - 01:53]
in a moment program began with the minor.

[18:53 - 18:58]
Playing by this music hall audience for their brilliant performance of the Bach double
[18:58 - 19:00]
compared with him tonight a huge win for New Yorkers
[19:00 - 19:07]
by so much Rudolph exchanging Hendrix with the artist and.
[19:07 - 19:08]
The audience.
[19:08 - 19:24]
The orchestra members rise to the right rock.
[19:24 - 19:28]
Now leading with a magnificent display of
[19:28 - 19:35]
cool.
[19:35 - 19:39]
And now the voice box reappear as the audience delighted to watch with the
[19:39 - 19:47]
great violinist.
[19:47 - 19:51]
Anticipating the balance of the program. Baby boy dropped off during the Beethoven
[19:51 - 19:59]
piano next Mendelssohn when the miners.
[19:59 - 19:59]
Were born.
[19:59 - 20:20]
Next on this program a performance of the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto and a minor Opus
[20:20 - 20:25]
64. By Igor Oistrakh. The concerto we're
[20:25 - 20:30]
about to hear has been called by some critics. The perfect violin concerto. It was written three
[20:30 - 20:34]
years before Mendelssohn's death at the age of 38. The Victorians held
[20:34 - 20:39]
Mendelssohn in very high regard but as fashions changed so did his position.
[20:39 - 20:44]
Resulting finally in the idea still held by many today that he was a brilliant
[20:44 - 20:49]
adolescent who wrote a few youthful masterpieces but deteriorated into a composer
[20:49 - 20:54]
of sweet and sentimental little pieces. The critic Derek Cooke not only
[20:54 - 20:59]
vehemently denies this but goes on to declare that Mendelssohn was an even more precocious genius
[20:59 - 21:00]
and Mozart.
[21:00 - 21:05]
He points out that while Mozart composed at 18 Mendelssohn had a great
[21:05 - 21:08]
many really fine works to his credit at fourteen.
