Synopsis

Amazon.com

If this isn't just about the classiest recording ever made, then I don't now what is. In David Oistrakh and Mstislav Rostropovich we have the two of the very greatest Russian string players in the world, friends and colleagues (at the Moscow Conservatory) moreover. Then there's György Szell, in many respects the greatest conductor of his age, at the helm of the orchestra he raised to the heights of perfection--at the time of this recording, there was no one who could match Cleveland for sheer unanimity of ensemble. And finally there's Brahms's last and greatest concerto (coupled with one of Beethoven's most intriguing musical experiments), a piece all three of them loved dearly. What else is there to say? If you haven't put this disc in your shopping basket yet, there's no hope for you. --David Hurwitz

CD Reviews

Best Brahms Double Concerto

11/09/1998

(5 out of 5 stars)

"There are some excellent Brahms Double Concertos available, but I believe this is the very best. Oistrakh, Rostropovich, and Szell not only have the necessary technical skills (a formidable challenge with this piece) and the right style, but they play with obvious enjoyment and gusto, and maintain close rapport with each other. The recorded sound is superb. The complement of Beethoven's Triple Concerto, in which Oistrakh and Rostropovich are joined by Richter with Karajan at the helm, is as good a version as you are likely to find. It is a jolly piece with a gorgeous slow movement, and the solo trio and conductor even find considerable humor, especially in the finale."
