| Professional Review: |
| Mstislav Rostropovich is the world's greatest cellist, and he has actually made at least five recordings of this greatest of all cello concertos. I have a certain preference for his later version, with Seiji Ozawa and the Boston Symphony Orchestra on Erato. This version has long been a prime recommendation, and in this new remastering at mid-price, it's an even better deal now. Herbert von Karajan accompanies with his usual expertise, and the Tchaikovsky performance is quite simply the finest around. This concerto is one of those pieces of which you'll want to have five or six copies. Just make sure this is one of them. --David Hurwitz |

 Written on September 30, 2003 Summary: Rostropovich - the Master - plays a Masterpiece.. The acnowledged master of the cello, Mstislav Rostropovich, much like jazz piano virtuoso Oscar Peterson, grunts and plays his way through what I feel to be the greatest of the romantic concertos for cello. Although my favourite Rostropovich rendition of this piece, conducted by Carlo Maria Giulini with the London Philharmonic Orchestra, is not to be found (so far..) on CD; this one, with Herbert von Karajan and the Berlin is nearly as masterful - if perhaps a touch 'stiffer', in my opinion. Rostropovich takes this richly Slavonic concerto and makes it his own. Once you have heard him perform this piece, no other cellist will do. He is simply the best, and this is one of his best vehicles for showcasing his mastery of the instrument. Written on December 6, 2002 Summary: How could there possibly be better renditions? Before when I had only heard the Sony - #67173 recording of Dvorak's Cello Concerto in B Minor (with Yoyo Ma and Kurt Masur), it did not take long for me to recognize the genius of this musical piece, but now that I have heard this version with Mstislav Rostropovich, it is now one of my favorite compositions of all time. Both recordings shine like gems, but this one seems more polished. The Tchaikovsky performance is also quite good and again the best I've heard thus far. This cd gets my vote for one that belongs in any exceptional collection of music. Written on March 4, 2002 Summary: Among The Definitive Recordings this recording but it remains...[to be] the best recordings of the Dvorak Cello Concerto. Perhaps the most memorable aspect of this recording is the feeling of nostalgia in the final movement that is very moving. There is an emotional attachment on the part of Mstislav Rostropovich that goes to the heart of this concerto. The Berlin Philharmonic is simply superb. I, too, have several recordings of this cello concerto, and I have heard it in performance several times. There are many finely recorded performances that come to mind: Du Pre, Yo Yo Ma and others with Rostropovich. This one may not outshine all others, however, it is a recording of this concerto that demands to be heard and fully deserves to be considered a classic. The Rococo Variations of Tchaikovsky are well played with the same attention to detail and feeling as the Dvorak... If you enjoy the Dvorak Cello Concerto, this disc should be in your collection... Written on November 10, 2001 Summary: One of the Definitive Dvorak Cello Concerto Recordings This is a tough one to call. Admittedly, the sound quality of Erato's recording of Rostropovich performing the Dvorak Cello Concerto and the Tchaikovsky Rocco Variations is still better than Deutsche Grammophon's digital image bit remastered version with Rostropovich accompanied by Karajan and the Berlin Philharmonic. Certainly for both recordings, Rostropovich gives warm, passionate performances of these works; his interpretations in the Erato recording may sound more vibrant than these on the Deutsche Grammophon CD, but this may have more to do with sound quality than with his splendidly lyrical playing. However, without question, the Deutsche Grammophon recording does offer Karajan and the Berlin Philharmonic at its best. I doubt I have heard a better concerto recording from them; most noteworthy is the lush, warm tone created by the strings, sounding almost as warm as any I have heard from the Vienna Philharmonic's string sections. You certainly won't go wrong acquiring either the Deutsche Grammophon or Erato CDs; I own both and enjoy them immensely. Written on November 5, 2001 Summary: This brings to tears Rostropovich's rendition is unrivalled. His background gives him the power of understanding Dvorak's meaning. Just as Wagner's music tells us something about the Teutonic legacy, Dvorak's reveals the Slavic soul. This is the singularly most Slavic piece in the cello repertoir and it's lyrical quality draws us to some distant field or village, cathedral or fortress deep in Eastern Europe. You feel the vacillations between anguish and joy, melancholy and triumph.....as if some poet is reciting the tale of Dvorak's very race. Rostropovich, a member of this same race, understands this epic.....this is as much his story and the story of every Czech, Russian, Serb and Pole, as it is Dvorak's. |
