This album combines two violin concertos performed by David Oistrakh (1908–1974) together with the Russian State Symphony Orchestra under conductor Alexander Gauk (who, like Oistrakh, was born in Odesa). Opus 44 by Nicholas Myaskovsky was recorded in September 1939 and Violin Concerto No. 1 in D Major, Op. 19 by Sergei Prokofiev in June 1953.

Period Records released the album in 1955, with a cover design by Lily Gruen Zepel.
