A great musician, son of an even greater father.

Ermmm: a correction - it is Igor Oistrakh who has died - David's son. David died in 1974.

Thanks for the correction - ermmm indeed.

It's a shame Igor's career was so far overshadowed by his father's. I went looking for a representative performance on youtube and found this.

Unquestionably great playing, but the audio and video are so far out of synch (and the recording so good) that I started to wonder, and by the end it's clear that the film is overdubbed! By whom..?

Oops, apologies for the error. Thread title etc. corrected.

No problem - I have been in that same boat a number of times (perhaps I should get a season pass?!).
