A review: The 1966 LP from which this reissue was drawn was my introduction to the Debussy and Ravel sonatas, and after not having heard it for at least twenty years, I can say that it still holds up exceptionally well. Oistrakh's playing is gorgeous throughout and he is capably accompanied by Frida Bauer. The five Melodies of Prokofiev are perfect companion pieces sandwiched between the Debussy and Ravel. This is a bona-fide classic of the catalogue recorded in the sumptuous sound that Phillips was famous for.From Gramophone:This recording from 1966 was made in France and brings marvellously passionate yet subtle performances of two French masterpieces that partially elude interpreters of the second rank, namely the Debussy and Ravel violin sonatas which are works of great beauty, intensity and sadness; and for these alone it could be warmly recommended, particularly as the pianist Frida; Bauer is much more than a merely adequate support for the great Soviet violinist. and at mid price this issue is a bargain indeed.The Prokofiev Five Melodies are true melodies in the French sense and thus in fact arrangements of actual songs, though originally these were vocalises without words: they date from the 1920s which was a good period for this composer and despite their (to be honest) somewhat thin and contrived idiom Oistrakh plays them most persuasively. The Ysaye sonata, subtitled Ballade (1924), lasts less than seven minutes and is the third of a set of six for unaccompanied violin; it is more than an agreeable curiosity and earns its place in this fine recital of music belonging to the decade from 1917.'
