5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful, May 3, 2007

This review is from: Prokofiev: Sinfonia Concertante; Miaskovsky: Cello Concerto (Audio CD)

Funny, how we love to critize the great ones, and God, was Mstislav Rostropovich a great one! His passing has left me depressed and listening to all my recordings of his work. This particular CD has become one of my repeatedly, played favorites. The Prokofiev "Sinfonia Concertante" is pure magic, the Miaskovky "Cello Concerto" is beautifully enchanting and the Rachmaninov "Vocalise" bonus is sublime. A steal for the price.

Like the other reviewer, its hard to imagine a world (musical or otherwise)without Rostropovich, and although he made many great recordings, the Miaskovsky concerto is one of his best. For those who aren't familiar with the piece, it is achingly beautiful (along with the composer's violin concerto). Needless to say, Slava's Prokofiev was authoritative. A must purchase CD!

This review is from: Prokofiev: Sinfonia Concertante; Miaskovsky: Cello Concerto (Audio CD)

There are many recordings of the Prokofiev Sinfonia Concertante but very few of the Miaskovsky so this combination , with the quality and standard of this performance, make this a stand out must have CD. Rostropovich's intimate knowledge of these scores make this the most authentic available.
