Album Remarks & Appraisals:
Mstislav Rostropovich was born on March 27, 1927, and died from cancer a month after his 80th birthday. He was without a shadow of a doubt the leading cellist of the 20th century, not to mention an excellent conductor and piano accompanist to his wife, the soprano Galina Vishnevskaya. But what set him even further apart was his deep commitment to humanity, his dedication to the people of his native Russia, and his courageous stand against the Soviet empire. This collection brings together all the recordings with cello that he made for EMI Classics, including both versions of the Brahms ‘Double Concerto’ made with Oistrakh & Szell in 1969 and Perlman & Haitink in 1979, and a special documentary DVD. In a final gesture of his limitless generosity, Rostropovich left the world a matchless recorded legacy of his genius. We should all listen and be grateful.

    Thanks so much for this magnificent work! CD16, however, seems to be corrupted. Any chance someone might reup this one? Thanks, again.

  6. whatever Says:

    pdx try to download CD16 once more

  7. pdx Says:

    I have already done that twice with the same result, but I will try one more time. The rar file only contains a single (incomplete?) ape file as opposed to 3 files as in other rars in the same collection.

  8. whatever Says:

    i will download it right now to check

  9. whatever Says:

    everything is working correctly

  10. pdx Says:

    thank you whatever for checking it. i was able to download the whole thing now.
