I listened to H.Hahn's Beethoven and, despite the technical prowess, I was uninspired by the musical result. Of course, this is a concerto played by so many so well (Oistrakh, Heifetz, Taschner, Hubermann, etc) that comparisons may be insidious.

The best Oistrakh Tchaikovski must be a late 60s early 70s (he died in 74 I think) live recording. It was made on his birthday, recorded by Melodiya. I have an old LP, but I'm sure there is a cd version out there, somewhere...
