Free Music Review: Demonic Possession
Hit: 5 Stars
These two titans play like men possessed with a rare spiritual fire that lifts the music to the highest levels of art.
You could say that this is the soundtrack to the movie: EMI released a DVD of them playing this very performance. Seeing them is even greater than hearing them (which already a pretty elevated experience).
Rostropovich plays like a madman - he looks and sounds like a man in the throws of ecstatic union with the gods of music. At times literally attacking his instrument, at times making love to it - his youth and passion are raw and exposed. Brilliant!
They are both huge risk takers with their music making here - exposing their souls in this performance. I am in awe of their work. They made a studio recording for Phillips that is very powerful but not quite as wild. The Casals-Serkin recording is wonderful in another way, but equally splendid.
