Oscar Shumsky is heard in a live concert given at Berkeley in 1980. Capturing the violinist at his prime in splendidly recorded sound, this recital features two major violin works Shumsky never recorded commercially: Beethoven’s grand and passionate “Kreutzer” Sonata and the Bach Sonata in E minor arranged by Alexander Siloti, and the Prokofiev Solo Violin Sonata.
