Similar feelings (soaring spontaneity and deeply perceptive intelligence) attend his readings of the Shostakovich concertos - added to which is my growing certainty that this version of No.I (accompanied by the great Mravinsky) is his finest. ... It was with Mravinsky and the Leningrad that Oistrakh (as dedicatee) gave the first performance ...
