Free Music Review: Rostropovich/Britten Recording is a Gem
Hit: 4 Stars
This remastered 1968 Decca recording of the collaboration of cellist Mstislav Rostropovich and pianist Benjamin Britten is nothing less than a model of inspired chamber music performance. The most lovely part of the album is the duo's performance of the Schubert "Arpeggione" sonata. The simple work, often difficult to make interesting in performance because of its simplicity, shines like a rare gem due to the highly sensitive playing of Benjamin Britten. Added to this is Rostropovich's wonderfully song-like presentation of the composer's melodies. While I find the duo's performance of the Schumann "Fuenf Stuecke im Volkston" to be somewhat stodgy, I have enjoyed becoming acquainted with the work through this recording. Although a bit dull, the music is still played with clear purpose and direction.
I originally bought this CD because I wanted to have a fine recording of the Debussy cello sonata. I was delighted to hear this intricately interwoven performance. Rostropovich's performance is clear in its execution and intent, yet appropriately murky in its impressionistic delivery. I often replay the performance immediately because of the excitement the two musicians exude.
For those interested in intricate chamber music performances, this CD is a "Must Have"!
