Rostropovich plays Shostakovich Cello Concerto No. 1 - 4/4

[gritarensilencio]

Lo interesante de la música es que puede contar historias con mucha emoción.

[Aeonlux84]

...I adore Shostakovich more than ever.

[llzzzzz]

it sounds gr8... the best...

[weisen1984]

am i the only one who thinks that Mishas interpretation is way better than this?

[nekonaru16]

@weisen1984 I like Mischa's 4th movement better, but his 1st was lacking the darkness, heaviness and monstrosity that Rostropovich had, which I believe Shostakovich wanted more than the energy and power (and speed, he sped it up WAY too much).

This made my skin prickle.

Is the cadenza supposed to go right into this movement or is there something wrong with the video?

[C0urante]

The cadenza leads right into the next movement.
