I stumbled across a performance of
Bach's Double Violin Concerto by Yehudi Menuhin And David Oistrakh on YouTube and am now looking for a good performance/recording of this piece. Can be either vinyl or cd. Your suggestions are much appreciated.
It's been a while @twoleftears, perhaps I should refresh my memory ;-) . Of course, some who prefer Romantic-style violinists find the sound of antique instruments (or reproductions) harsh and ugly.
I didn't want to get into "historically informed " performances , which i do love myself , but I find the Kuijken and his " La Petite band " outstanding .I've heard it live several times .
Just played it a few days ago...RCA Living Stereo SACD/hybrid reissue with Heifetz/Primrose. Also includes the Brahms violin/cello Op 102 and The Mozart violin/viola K.364.
Thanks for all the suggestions...just picked up the
Grumiaux and Krebbers one.... and will see if I can find one of the Historically-Informed versions for comparison.
