Yes!!!!! Very positively agreed. I posted one article a while ago talking about Oistrakh and mensioned the same piece and performance. To my extreme disappointment, no one in this news group has ever commented a single word on it. I wonder why no one like that music. It is, in my point of view, a marvelous composition and a miraculous performance.
