Mstislav Rostropovich - A Romantic Portrait (2015) [SACD]

This release is part of the Praga label's stellar Reminiscences series of SACD remasterings. On this disc, the legendary cellist 'Slava', Mstislav Rostropovich, performs romantic concertos by Dvorák [Abbey Rd 1957] and Schumann [London 1960] and Tchaikovsky's 'Pezzo Capriccioso' [Moscow 1964] , all of which he championed for half a century. He is supported by the Royal Philharmonic led by Sir Adrian Boult, and the Leningrad Philharmonic led by Gennady Rozhdestvensky.
