Rostropovich Life & Art(2007)
Rostropovich Life & Art Synopsis
Released as a memorial for the great Russian cellist Mstislav Rostropovich, who passed away on 27 April 2007, this DVD contains one bonafide cello concerto, the Schumann Cello Concerto in A minor, and two tone poems with prominent cello parts, Ernest Bloch's Schelomo and Richard Strauss' Don Quixote. Rostropovich mastered the Schumann in several famous recordings. Here, conducted by Leonard Bernstein, he provides a splendid performance. Featuring his trademark powerful technique, smooth legato and crisp vibrato, the Romantic roots of the concerto are never hidden for long, despite the relatively cool playing of the Orchestre National de France.
Rostropovich Life & Art (2007) is a music film directed by Humphrey Burton, released on February 5, 2007 with a runtime of 2h 11m. It stars Mstislav Rostropovich, Leonard Bernstein, Herbert von Karajan and Ulrich Koch. Viewers rate it 7.0 out of 10 across 1 ratings.
