TCHAIKOVSKY: VIOLIN CONCERTO IN D MAJOR (Melodiya-Angel). An extraordinary father-son act: David Oistrakh, 58, conducts the Moscow Philharmonic, while his son Igor, 35, fiddles.

Last week Adler made one of his rare TV appearances, playing his beguiling transcription of the gavotte from Bach's Partita No. 3 for unaccompanied violin on the Mike Douglas Show. And while the taped program was being shown around the U.S., he was already in Israel, entertaining the troops...
