Look, at 0.06-0.09 there's the great horn player Alan Civil at top right! It was hearing him at a Prom concert that started my love for classical music!
Oh God, yes! But it took not only the fingers, but his whole being. Look at his face - he was playing this with shattering emotional intensity. 5:26: desolation. Leaves me too stunned to cry.
Rostropovich was the king (or maybe Czar) of the Dvorak cello concerto, and this is my favorite movement of the concerto. I think they took the tempo a little quickly, but it's still magnificent. Thanks for posting this!
GREAT!

This is probably the greatest performance of this concerto since it was written.

He makes it look really easy but it so isn't, I have only attempted the second movement!

have the first 2 movements turned up? This (3rd) was shown by BBC during obituary progs - but not the preceeding two.

The fingers. The unbelievably agile fingers. Ten little fingers was all it took to enthrall, sadden, enlighten and delight the hearts.
