Movie Reviews of Rostropovich: Life & Art [DVD Video]
Movie Review: Remembering Rostropovich
Summary: 4 Stars
The outstanding performance here is the passionate "Schlomo" by Bloch. The Schumann is fine, but perhaps a bit too objective. The R. Strauss is excellent, and the sound is better than on the cd (EMI)with Karajan. The extra documentary is nice but seems somewhat underdeveloped as if it was a rush job. I'm sure there are hundreds (maybe thousands) of minutes of additional material which could have been included, or perhaps another complete performance or rehearsal could have been included. For example, we could have learned more about the great cellest's relationship with his other great contemporaies, such as Richter, Oistrach, and Shostakovich, for starters. But, I suppose we should be greatful for what we have here. Picture quality is somewhat variable in the two pieces conducted by Bernstein (with Artur Rubinstein in the audience!), but better in the R. Strauss. The documentary is generally good visually. Sound is excellent throughout.
