Dvořák & Schumann Cello Concertos

Msitslav Rostropovich
R.P.O / Adrian Boult
Leningrad/Rozhdestvensky

(Dvořák) “No praise can be too high for Rostropovich’s performance; not only for its actual playing, technically, but for the poetry, the true inwardness of his expressiveness … I may perhaps be allowed now to say that no performance I have ever heard has given me deeper enjoyment.” (Schumann) “nothing detached or remote about Rostropovich’s playing: indeed his is a reading that is totally committed. He plays with his usual authority and wealth of tone and with great expressive intensity.”
