A revelation. Love the gutsiness. Not excluding the finesse too.

Die großartigste Aufnahme,die ich kenne!! Damit begann der Siegeszug und die Popularität dieses Konzertes,von Sadlo aus der Taufe gehoben,aber von"Rostro" und Britten weltweit bekannt gemacht! Eine wahre Sternstunde

Glorious opening - so confident, life affirming and positive = Haydn. Cello entry matches and enhances. A real duet between soloist and orchestra. I do not appreciate Britten's cadenzas (though I am generally a fan of his music). The slow movement is played extremely slowly with maximum "romanticism" bringing out a spirituality and emotionally probing quality, though still retaining the overall Haydn quality of comfort. Exuberant finale full of edge-of-seat rhythmic tension yet with many refined nuances of detail. So a great performance, but above all a great work.

Melvyn Elphee , the slow movement is too slow, in fact. But listen the "vibrato" and strong unmistakable personality of performance. He is Rostropovich. Nobody could something, but he could. He change XX century.
