Poem for violin and orchestra "In Memoriam David Oistrakh" (1974?)
Igor Oistrakh, violin and the USSR State Academic Orchestra conducted by Yevgeny Svetlanov
David Fyodorovich Oistrakh, orig. German: Eustrach (30 September [O.S. 17 September] 1908 - 24 October 1974), was a Soviet violinist, violist and conductor. Igor Oistrakh (1931 - 14 August 2021) is his son.
Oistrakh collaborated with major orchestras and musicians from many parts of the world and was the dedicatee of numerous violin works, including both of Dmitri Shostakovich's violin concerti and the violin concerto by Aram Khachaturian. He is considered one of the preeminent violinists of the 20th century.
Svetlanov was born in Moscow and studied conducting with Aleksandr Gauk at the Moscow Conservatory. From 1955 he conducted at the Bolshoi Theatre, being appointed principal conductor there in 1962. From 1965 he was principal conductor of the USSR State Symphony Orchestra (now the Russian State Symphony Orchestra). In 1979 he was appointed principal guest conductor of the London Symphony Orchestra. Svetlanov was also music director of the Residentie Orchestra (The Hague) from 1992 to 2000 and the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra from 1997 to 1999.
In 2000 Svetlanov was fired from his post with the Russian State Symphony Orchestra by the minister of culture of Russia, Mikhail Shvydkoi. The reason given was that Svetlanov was spending too much time conducting abroad and not enough time in Moscow.
Svetlanov was particularly noted for his interpretations of Russian works - he covered the whole range of Russian music, from Mikhail Glinka to the present day. He was also one of the few Russian conductors to conduct the entire symphonic output of Gustav Mahler.
His own compositions included a String Quartet (1948), Daugava, Symphonic Poem (1952), Siberian Fantasy for Orchestra, Op. 9 (1953), Images d'Espagne, Rhapsody for orchestra (1954), Symphony (1956), Festive Poem (1966), Russian Variations for harp and orchestra (1975), Piano Concerto in c minor (1976) and Poem for Violin and Orchestra "To the Memory of David Oistrakh" (1975).
Svetlanov was also an extremely competent pianist, three notable recordings being Sergei Rachmaninoff's Piano Trio No. 2 in D minor and Cello Sonata op. 19, and a disc of Nikolai Medtner's piano music.
A wonderful and touching elegy for violin and orchestra. I love the reference of Russian funereal choral music around 5:22. This would be a great addition to the violin concerto repertoire, at least as a relatively short concert piece, balancing virtuosity with emotional depth, not to mention accessibility.

In that opening section, it feels at times that the violinist is trying to break free from the chains of the earth, like an imprisoned angel. Absolutely gorgeous.
From 8:00 the most emotionally powerful passage in violin history happens. Just the repeating mournful chord progression, sends chills down my spine.

An overwhelming in memoriam, impressive, touching and beautiful.
Wow I never realized Svetlanov composed, but this is exquisite.
Rather beautiful and very accessible
Beautiful. Svetlanov really ought to be more famous as a composer, not just as a conductor and pianist.
Woooow
Sounds spectacular, great, MAGISTRAL, lovely, marvelous and fantastic

위대한 바이올리니스트를 추모하는 곡이었군요.
다비드 오이스트라흐는 파가니니,요아힘,사라사테,비에니아프스키,크라이슬러 등에 비견되는 20세기 최고의 바이올리니스트 입니다 🎉🎉❤❤
If the orchestra is not possible. This could sound nice with an organ and a violin. Or a small organ, french horn, cello, percussion and a violin. quintet
💔
A violinist is Eduard Grach, not Igor Oistrakh (although he also recorded this piece, but in much slower manner)
This performance comes from a Melodia CD or an LP of Svetlanov's music (this piece and the Piano Concerto), and it credits Igor Oistrakh as the violinist. You can find the performance with the disc cover on the CZcams channel "Rodders".
@@TheodoreServin Hmmm, I checked Melodia CD and it is strange because there is 2007 release of Svetlanov's works in 4 CDs (disc catalogue number is SVCO 001/4-004/4) and this piece has 18.21 minutes length with Igor Oistrakh as a violinist.
Does anyone know where I can purchase this score, or just the violin part? I've been wanting to learn this piece ever since hearing it a few years ago, and this is the first time I've even seen the score for it.

Beautiful! Could it be the copyist or violinist is mistaken on playing a a G in 10 bars after [1], instead of an F#?
It's played exactly as written.
