Haven't seen Buxter for a long time. But, Gileon, I agree with you. There are those who don't seem to like Russian peformers, period. I really like much of Gilels, Oistrakh, and others.
I've heard a few comments here "Oistrakh not my favorite, or first choice...". I could certainly point you in the direction of some recordings of Oistrakh that would change your opinion very quickly. I own just about everything in print of Oistrakh, very enjoyable to listen to.
I own and have listened to many Oistrakh recordings. I like him in few pieces (Beethoven VC, Prokofiev VCs...) but in general, I prefer Heifetz, Kogan, Milstein, Szigeti and Grumiaux. But if you have a suggestion for Oistrakh that you think I might enjoy, I'm certainly willing to give it a listen.
Gileon -- for Oistrakh, try Tchaikovski violin / concert for Oistrakh's 60th b/day, Moscow S O/Rozdestvenski. You might also try Oistrakh's Beethoven violin and contrast with Hubermann on the same piece... Cheers
