It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

My fav too, but "primitive"?

To me, this is one of the better-recorded early stereo Columbia LPs I've heard. Maybe the stereo effect is too pronounced, and it lacks the coherence of the best early RCA stereo LPs, but it has great clarity and spaciousness.
You must be funning us calling it primitive. Naughty jdaniel!
As for David Oistrakh, it's uncanny how his version or versions of almost every standard from Bach and Vivaldi to Hindemith and Shostakovich turn out to be so hard to beat, despite dozens of new versions as the decades roll on. His concept is always dead on, and his execution is always dead on, whether live or studio, and regardless of where and with whom he is playing. Chamber, concerto, large scale, small scale, baroque, classical, romantic, modern, it doesn't matter.
Hi-rez is nice, but I'm not exactly pining for more versions of the Sibelius violin concerto. Edit: Hey, but I'll listen to one of the new ones this weekend. Don't get mad!!
