Movie Reviews of David Oistrakh: Brahms/Sibelius/Tchaikovsky
Movie Review: Not for computers
Summary: 5 Stars
I've noticed that reviews that complain about defective DVDs usually get inundated with negative responses. Since nearly every word out of my keyboard gets that, I might as well plunge on. This DVD has something called a DVD-ROM built into it. I didn't try it. It's supposed to allow you to print out a booklet of info presumably about the music and David Oistrakh. However, the DVD itself will not play right on a computer, which is where I usually watch DVDs. When you click on play the whole program, it plays the first piece (numbered the 2nd), then shows the title of the 2nd piece, but plays a snippet of the last piece and then cuts off and goes on to the 3rd piece (the Brahms). I spent years unsuccessfully trying to correct this and gave up. However, each selection has its own title in the "menu," and by clicking on each title individually, you can hear the music okay. It just won't play the whole DVD from beginning to end. I thought the thing was defective but decided not to return it, very inexpensive and I could always adjust, then got an idea, took it home and played it on a regular DVD player and it played perfectly. My friend who is a computer tech explained to me why this happened, but it went over my head. I'll just watch it at home and be content. None of the other reviewers mentioned this, so I thought I would. And yes, the sound was fine, the picture was clear as water, the music was beautiful and Oistrakh was brilliant. His fingers flew over the strings, his slurs were perfect, his bow was straight as an arrow and (in accord with Menuhin's dictum), his thumb was just even with the fingerboard. It was wonderful.
