Our Take

MSTISLAV ROSTROPOVICH Rostropovich Encores takes us on a musical journey like no other. This album is a collection of encores performed by the legendary cellist himself, showcasing his unparalleled talent and charisma.

From the moment you press play, you are transported to a world where the cello reigns supreme. Rostropovich's masterful technique and emotive playing are evident in every track, leaving you in awe of his musical prowess.

The album kicks off with a captivating rendition of Tchaikovsky's Pezzo Capriccioso, setting the tone for what's to come. Each piece on the album is a testament to Rostropovich's ability to captivate listeners with his exquisite tone and dynamic range.

Tracks like Saint-Saëns' The Swan and Popper's Hungarian Rhapsody are highlights of the album, showcasing Rostropovich's virtuosity and emotional depth.

But it's not all serious business - Rostropovich throws in a few fun surprises with playful encores like Popper's Tarantella and Piazzolla's Le Grand Tango, showing off his lighter side and sense of humour.

Overall, MSTISLAV ROSTROPOVICH Rostropovich Encores is a must-listen for any classical music lover. It's a masterclass in cello playing, delivered with charm and finesse by one of the greatest musicians of all time.
