5.0 out of 5 stars
breathtaking, August 2, 2005
This review is from: Dvorák: Cello Concerto; Strauss: Don Quixote [Hybrid SACD] (Audio CD)
I own many recordings of both pieces, includng the two other SACDs of the Dvorak (Starker and Piatigorsky), both of which are great. The Starker has an amazing quality of immediacy, you feel as if you are standing next to him. In the Miasky (a student of Piatigorsky who previously recorded the Dvorak with Bernstein), especially for the Strauss, you feel as if you are in the orchestra. The sensation is three-dimensional, the brass and woodwinds being very well-miked. Tabea Zimmerman is the faithful sidekick. They are live recordings, with Zubin mehta and the Berliners, but I couldn't find when in the generally puff-piece liner notes.
Fantastic
