Rostropovich has recorded a session of Dvorak's Cello Concerto seven times in his lifetime. This third recording was recorded the year after its debut in England in 1956 and was the first stereo sound source. At the time of recording, I was 30 years old, so the performance here is clear. Not only the technique but also the tempo feeling is different from the Karajan board (40's) after him, and it seems that Rostropovich himself has a strong intention. The detailed consideration of the master vault and the exquisite control over the orchestra are also worth listening to. Perhaps because there have been few opportunities to reprint on CDs, one of the reasons why the frequency of coverage for famous performances was low may be due to its poor sound quality. I think you will be surprised at the difference in this reprint. The quality of the orchestra is also high, and I never thought that I could reproduce it with the sound quality so far. The freshness and sound quality are different. In addition, although this song was written in monaural in the complete collection of imported Warners released in 2017, the sound source this time is stereo. And Prokofiev's "Symphony Concerto" of the coupling is a work that Rostropovich was heavily involved in the composition (premiered in 1952. The song was dedicated to Rostropovich. The conductor was Richter, who was the only one in public). The overwhelming performance is left here as well. It is interesting that the sound quality is slightly different while recording at about the same time as Dvorak, and the tone and technique of the cello are outstanding, so you will feel the extraordinary power especially in this reprint. I'm just impressed with the concentration and spirit of recording and playing at that time.
