Gregor Piatigorsky / Charles Munch & Boston Symphony Orchestra – Dvorak: Cello Concerto (Vinil 180g, LP dublu)

Few recordings capture the excitement that arises when great art meets great music as well as this one. In this groundbreaking RCA Living Stereo release, legendary cellist Gregor Piatigorsky joins Charles Munch and the Boston Symphony Orchestra in performing Dvorák’s “Cello Concerto in B minor, Op. 104”, which has been considered the benchmark for decades. Why is this recording still so revered? For one thing, Piatigorsky’s playing strikes the perfect balance between nobility and passion. His tone is deep and impressive, yet his phrasing has a warmth and lyricism that makes the delicate passages of the concerto shine. Every note seems to carry the weight of lived experience. Then there is Munch, whose famously spontaneous, almost unpredictable conducting style matches Piatigorsky’s intensity bar for bar. Under his baton, the Boston Symphony Orchestra sparkles with vitality – lush strings, glowing brass and a rhythmic drive that gives the concerto its rousing drama. It is a meeting of two larger-than-life personalities – captured in all its glory, with three microphones!

The reissue of the “RCA Living Stereo Classical” series by Analogue Productions meets the highest audiophile standards: Bernie Grundman is responsible for remastering the original tapes. The double LP (45 RPM) includes a 2-page booklet and was pressed on 180-gram vinyl by industry leader Quality Record Pressings (QRP) using Classic Records equipment.We recommend the use of „L’Art du Son” LP cleaner to wet wash your vinyl. Even new records of high quality production will benefit from this.
