Shostakovich: Cello Concerto No1, Op107; Violin Concerto No1 (revised), Op99

Mstislav Rostropovich, Dimitri Mitropoulos, ...

Sony, 1998

Great performances of Shostakovich
I'll make this brief; the other reviewer have said what I would have stated, that this is a great recording. The one thing I would like to add, as an avid violin (and cello, my sister is a cellist) fan, is that the sheer intensity and almost raw (without being crude) ...

EMI Classics, 2008

Oistrakh Jubilee
A violinist's violinist who was simultaneously adored by the general public. EMI presents in one compilation the entire recorded legacy of David Oistrakh. I simply wanted to list the works and co-performers in this collection. The recordings really do not need any ...

Mstislav Rostropovich, Johann Sebastian Bach

Bach Cello Suites No.1~6 by Rostropovich

Dvorák: Cello Concerto; Tchaikovsky / Karajan, Rostropovich,

Mstislav Rostropovich, Antonin Dvorak, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 1996

One of the great treasures in recorded classical music
This recording of the Dvorak Cello Concerto in B-minor, Op. 104, by Mstislav Rostropovich, with Herbert von Karajan & the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra,is not only the finest perfomance of the piece that I have ever heard, including Ma, Du Pre, and Piatigorsky, but it ...

Brahms: The Cello Sonatas

Johannes Brahms, Mstislav Rostropovich, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 1990

THIS ONE WILL GROW ON YOU
The balance is not quite right, with the cello too prominent, but once I got used to that the performances started to take me over. Here we have two of the greatest classical interpreters of their time taking us into the special world of Brahms, and they had me ...

Bach - Cello Suites / Rostropovich

Mstislav Rostropovich

EMI Classics, 2004

A Must have DVD
I saw Rostropovich perform all six suites in Vienna during the mid-70s at the time he initially moved to the west. It was the first time he performed all six in one sitting. I also met the man after the concert, truly one of the greatest musical evenings I ever ...

Schubert: String Quintet in C, D. 956

Mstislav Rostropovich

Deutsche Grammophon, 1992

Schubert at its best
I consider this work to be found in the front rank of Schuberts work. The melodic partwriting brings an atmosphere of tender intimacy which the musicians fully bring over. Their playing together lets me forget that they are 5 individuals but rather they give the ...

Mstislav Rostropovich, Ludwig van Beethoven, ...

Panorama: Claude Debussy

Claude Debussy, Claudio Abbado, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 2000

The best, if not the most, Debussy that money can buy.
Clocking in at more than two-and-a-half hours of music by Debussy, this is one of the best collections of his music that money can buy. It includes definitive performances of his most popular symphonic, chamber, and solo piano works. Michelangeli, for instance, is ...

The Original Jacket Collection: Eugene Ormandy

Mstislav Rostropovich, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, ...

Sony Classics, 2008

EUGENE ORMANDY FINALLY GETS HIS BOX SET!
It's hard to believe that the CD was introduced in 1982 and it has taken 26 years for Eugene Ormandy to have a proper box set released by Sony/BMG of some of his magical Columbia/CBS stereo recordings. How do you choose 10 CDs of Ormandy's Philadelphia Orchestra ...

Beethoven Cello Sonatas Nos. 1-5 / Rostropovich, Richter

Mstislav Rostropovich, Sviatoslav Richter

EMI Classics, 2003

Two Masters at the Height of their Powers
Despite his enormous discography, there's not a very rich visual record of Richter. He and Rostropovich excelled in concert performance, and these DVDs convey their intensity playing some of the best music ever written for the cello. Richter once said in an interview ...
