Product Description

Chronique amazon.fr

Janos Starker est un chambriste de la meilleure école, et son talent éclate dans cette oeuvre qui demande au soliste une concentration et une attention de tous les instants. Il est parfaitement épaulé par le chef Dorati et le London Symphony Orchestra dans ce concerto qui a gagné ses lettres de noblesse au fil de lectures très diverses. L'oeuvre est couplée avec les Variations sur un thème rococo de Tchaïkovski. --Eric Frank

4.0 out of 5 stars Stands up to the test of time, Aug 24 2001
By Ruth E. Wilson (Grand Rapids, MI) - See all my reviews
Janos Starker is spoken of in hushed and fervent tones in cello circles. I grew up in Bloomington, IN and was closely associated with the School of Music at Indiana University. He is certainly only one of many esteemed and legendary performers teaching at the university, but he is one with an ability to change the lives of those who study with him. Listening to him perform gives me increasing respect for this big brother of the string family. Being a bassoonist, I thought I could do anything a cellist could do (and better! except double-stops, of course) but Mr. Starker's performance on this recording made the world aware of a rising star! He was in his early 30's at the time - 36 years prior to his Grammy award winning recording of the Bach Cello Suites. (That recording is an essential 2-CD cello collection.) Only 5 years into his tenure at Indiana, you can experience first-hand one of the talents that has made the Indiana University School of Music number one in the country throughout the 80's and 90's.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sometimes one is enough..., Jun 6 2001
By Howard G Brown "brownswan" (Port St. Lucie, FL USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
There is a rival to this recording out of Berlin, with Rostropovich playing the cello and von Karajan playing the conductor. Actually, I have the Tschaikovsky part of that disc on a DG twofer that features Slava in a number of works, including the Shostakovich No.2.

But Starker and Dorati are so fine in the Dvorak -- and the Mercury recording is a marvel of clarity and body -- I've been able to pass on to other things, never feeling the need for an alternate view. This disk seems to project Dvorak's view itself, what need for another?

5.0 out of 5 stars When the heights become the expected, Mar 3 2000
By Mark McCue (Denver, CO USA) - See all my reviews
There's no reason to go into a long song and dance about Starker and Dorati here--the recordings are so famous and so coveted by collectors on original vinyl, that they're bound to make a perfect CD reissue. And they do.

Starker and Dorati's LSO strings have a thing going here--they match their attacks stylistically in superb ensemble--there's just a little bit of resin, of gut, on strings that give all three works a genuinely Slavic quality that is fascinating.

I don't think any historian would really consider the Bruch a very good work, but Starker and Dorati make it the best it can be. It certainly isn't an embarassment in the company of the Dvorak and Tchaikovsky which are refreshed to the point of renewed consideration of their virtues.
