"For many, Oistrakh remains the violinistic ideal," wrote The Strad magazine in 2019. "His winning combination of tonal sumptuousness, clear interpretative focus, musical humility and effortless technical poise across a broad repertoire remains unmatched to this day. When Oistrakh played, one felt there was nothing coming between the composer and the listener … He combined fingers of steel with a heart of gold."
