This is a beautiful combination of pianist and cellist. Two Russians who fit together like a hand in a glove. Both Richter and Rostropovich are extremely in synchronization with each other as they play the beautiful Beethoven Cello Sonatas. What classic pieces of music by Beethoven with two exceptional performers.

Outstanding conductor Karajan coupled with remarkable soloists, David Oistrakh, Mstislav Rostropovich, Sviatoslav Richter and the Berliner Philharmoniker deliver charismatic renditions of Beethoven’s Triple Concerto. Another addition in EMI’s illustrious remastered series, the performances are warm, spacious and powerful, remastered by four exquisite engineers.

Together for the first time, three acclaimed concertos performed by the soloists who made them famous - dedicatees and performers David Oistrakh and Mstislav Rostropovich, and then Leonard Bernstein himself, pianiste, conductor and composer with the less beloved Concerto Op.102. Lenny has produced a successful rendering of this curious cocktail - a tribute to Rococo style Bach, an entranced romantic andante along with a caricature of Prokofiev style virtuoso piano in the opening and closing allegros.
