I agree that Hugo Kach did a less than stellar job of capturing this great performance. It was taped, by the way, not filmed. Kach did a somewhat better job on the filmed performance of Rostropovich playing and conducting the Haydn concerti. That said, the sound is dynamic, the video is adequate, and the combo of Rostropovich and Giulini is amazing. This is, I believe, the finest of Rostropovich’s several recordings of the Dvorak, and has the magnificent tone, phrasing, and nobility this greatest of cello concerti requires. So, ten plus for performance and sound, and quite a bit less for video direction.

Rostropovich and Guilini collaborated seemlessly in both concerti. However, the microphone picked up Cellist’s breathing a few times. Yet, it’s still a must-have for cello fans.

If you have doubts about why so many people thought that Rostropovich was the greatest cellist of the century this dvd will wipe them all away. He is at his peak, his power display is truly amazing!
