I actually have reviewed the entire Rostropovich/HvK disc at home and work, not just sampled, but relistened to set myself first last night. There is a huge orchestral backdrop with gorgeous playing and I think it's still James Galway soloing along with Rostropovich at that time!The disappointment was the Mercury Starker and also Erato Rostropovich (digital 1985). The first raw and less musical (the sound? maybe I need to check the hybrid SACD), the latter too soft. Also, the Erato sound is simply weird, with highlighted instruments and distant but highlighted orchestra parts. When large tuttis come in, everything goes opaque? Strange. Marked contrast to Szell/BPO which was a disc written up for clarity in reproducing the orchestra, attributed to Szell by some.
