In Reply to: Reccomended Mstislav Rostropovich performances posted by markjohnson22@comcast.net on May 2, 2007 at 04:32:56:
the DGG Dvorak cello with BPO/Karajan 1968 cd and his remake on Erato digital LP with S. Ozawa and Boston (last movement only) mid 1980's. Both feature a Rostropovich favorite coupling, the Tchaikovsky Rococo Variations.I had felt the first was a bit sluggish, but upon relistening, apart from a bit of brightness and hardness and spot miking from the engineers and the digital source, it is a landmark from the past and certainly historic. Great performances, wonderful BPO power and playing and the sound is excellent.
Unfortunately, in the part of the 2nd one I sampled, the sound was distant for the orchestra, close up for the soloist, and very weak compared to the earlier recording. More when I listen further, but it got late.
The Hadyn cello concertos is another highly regarded disc (I have Angel LP).
Others can chime in.
