We offer a trifold Moscow Conservatory Big Hall program with four concerts covering the first week of January, 1948.  The program is printed on Post-War pulp paper and covered a week worth of concerts to save on the expenses of printing at that time, so few have survived.

 The two solo musicians, Oistrakh and Sofronitsky both present ambitious concerts.  As the handwritten notes were on the Sofronitsky program, that is the concert which was attended.  Sofronitsky presents a typical concert of Schumann, Scriabin and Rachmaninov, most of what is listed was recorded by the pianist at various times.

A historical and scarce program.
