Summary: One of the most beautiful cello concerts
Comment: I'm just a fan of classical music, so I can't give a proper review of the performance or even about the recording.
In any case, this concert remains as one of the most beautiful cello concerts ever written.
Just as a little note: this version is a little bit slower than others I have heard before. (nothing wrong with that)
Customer Rating: Summary: One of the great treasures in recorded classical music
Comment: 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 is absolutely one of the very best classical cds I have been privileged to own. This disc is a treasure in every sense of the word. Both soloist and conductor are at the height of their powers, with a recorded sound that is nothing short of phenomenal. Every once in a while, magic can be created on cd and this disc is some of the best evidence of this claim I have ever found. Even if you own some of the other fine performances available, including the ones I have mentioned ( or others I may have missed,) this release by Rostropovich & von Karajan is a must have if ever there was one. In fact, terms like "must have" were coined for compact discs like this DG Originals cd.
Coupled with an excellent performance of Tchaikovsky's Rococo Variations,this is a cd that I cannot help but recommend very highly to one & all.
