Gilels's playing is leonine and fiery, and his virtuosity is never less than imposing. There is much poetry, too...

David Oistrakh plays...with the total skill and musicianship which seem as rewarding today as they did 20 years ago... [T]he Philadelphia strings are both very strong and very impressive.
