Notes & Reviews:

Considered one of the greatest cellists of the second half of the 20th century is the Russian musician and conductor, Mstislav Rostropovich. Collected here in this 3-CD BBC special release are Rostropvich's greatest performances from the 1960s. Classical Source calls it, "a very valuable disc" and BBC Music Magazine raves these performances "display several dimensions of Mstislav Rostropovich's expressive range... ".

Chicago Tribune
These three CDs contain live broadcast performances the nonpareil Russian cellist gave with various British and Soviet orchestras in London during the 1960s, when he was at the height of his powers. With conductors such as Benjamin Britten, Gennadi Rozhdestvensky and Colin Davis lending firm support, the great Slava gathers this music in a bear hug of heroic, golden-toned commitment.
