The article presents information on concertos. The continence of tone, phrasing and style of Oistrakh's Russian performances of the Mozart and Beethoven concertos is heard in his beautiful playing in Bach's Concerto in E with the Philadelphia Orchestra under Ormandy, on Columbia ML- 5087. The record also offers an excellent performance of Bach's Concerto in A minor by Isaac Stern in his more vigorous style; and the two violinists play admirably an arrangement of Vivaldi's Concerto op. 3 No. 8 from L'Estro Armonico, in which the finale is replaced by an unidentified movement from another work.
