It is something of an event to be able to welcome a Melodiya CD of transfers from the 1960s in good sound. And even more of an event to be able to listen happily to Boris Goldstein playing in 1962 and 1968. Goldstein was one of the submerged Russians whose recording career was sacrificed in favour of Oistrakh and Kogan, but he was a major player. A pity the CD contains such ephemeral material: the Conus concerto is always welcome, but the D minor concerto by the 13 year old Mendelssohn is not worth repeated listening, and the violin concerto by Oskar Feltsman has understandably fallen into oblivion since its first hearing in Russia in 1962. The sound is good, however, and the playing deserves better material.
