I think there were few homes that “do music” and who did not play today Mstislav Rostropovich. I do not know why but I got today distressing with news about Rostropovich death much more then I would expect from a death of a person that I did not know...

As some of you have seen in my little run across Cello concertos:
http://www.goodsoundclub.com/TreeItem.aspx?PostID=2630
where I suggested that Rostropovich and Svetlanov with Russian State did the best Miaskovsky Cello Concerto that I’ve heard. We...

Hey, David, it is nice to see you around – the heavy musical artillery came eventually to my site.
Regarding Casals, yes it might be sentimental but he should be heard on 78s or with better transfer to appreciate completely his “complexity”. Still I...

Today WGBH broadcasted Antonio Pappano leading Chicago Symphony Orchestra with Shostakovich’s Cello Concerto No. 2 with a Korean cellist Han-Na Chang. I never head this girl and I had no idea what to expect. Anyhow, it was superb performance. Han-Na ...

This very musical masterpiece "owns" me since my boyhood, as my mother used to listen to it, as I learned about its title getting older (without NEVER knowing who performed it); sometimes she was reading in dimmed light, a book on her laps, more ofte...

London LL-1106; mono LP; 1954I feel so expansive listening to this, and I think a lot of it is because Fournier's playing is so perfect, in a very "modern", 20th century way. He does not put finger or bow awry, and the double-string work has to be h...

Today on WFMT's New Releases program, Lisa Flynn played a live recording of Elliott Carter's Cello Concerto. Composed in 2001, this performance I believe is from the fall of 2012. Daniel Barenboim conducts the Berlin Staatskapelle Orchestra, and th...

Since the WHRB broadcasted Victor Herbert First Cello Concerto by Lynn Harrell I got hooked on Herbert. I generally am not big fun of British composers but I do love a lot what Herbert did. It is in a way “light” and not intellectually demanding. Com...

I noted that cellos “got something” at the bottom after they were Water Dropped. I did not even intended to write about it as it is an ordinary, anticipated and not particularly "exuberant" change. Improving of LF always leads to improving of HF perc...

Romy, there is a project to reissue all of Svetlanov's recordings. Eventually, I hope, this project will make available the recording of the cello concerto by Natalia Gutman, which IMO is better than any of the recordings by Rostropovich.I do not kno...

Unquestionably to me, piano concertos are the very much The Concertos for an instrument and orchestras. My second favorite is Cello Concertos. The violin concertos are popular and they great but I frequently find that they might be annoying, particul...

I never heard them live. Martha Argerich is still performing live but it is imposable to catch her as she cancels whatever she can cancel. The Beethoven’s Cello Sonata are “big” and as many other thing many different people plays them differently. I ...
