The directionality and rationality of his phrasing can't be touched. His early, great recording makes me tear up when I hear it because of the beauty of the phrasing. It's not overwrought, but the longing is there, and because of the restraint and focus, it can be overwhelming.

@doddiev What really challenged Starker, was the Kodaly Sonata.

@scicodude Totally get what your saying about the Kodaly sonata. I heard it and I was like "hmmm, interesting" then i heard it played by starker and fell in love with it. The cool thing is while Starkers interpertation is still my favorite his playing allows me to appreciate even when other cellist play it

[scicodude]

On my first listen, I have to say I think I prefer Du Pre's recording of this better. I prefer the power and ferocity she brings to the opening, for example. But then again Ive been listening to that for years so I might be alittle biased... ;)

But Starker IS awesome! I never really "got" the Kodaly sonata till I heard him play it just now. The man is absolutely amazing :)

[doddiev]

My teacher describes this man as "The Einstein of the Cello". I reckon the concerto barely challenges his tremendous technique!!!

No-one who considers themselves capable of appreciating classical music, unless they themselves can do better, could possibly denigrate Starker's interpretation. Empty vessels make the most noise...BTW, he may be playing it "too SLOWLY" for your liking but he certainly is not playing it "too SLOW". Master grammar before you start on music!
