New York Philharmonic Live from Lincoln Center, 09.16.1999

Mstislav Rostropovich plays Dvorak Cello Concerto

[@TrinityDivineMozart]

I remember watching this on Channel Thirteen the PBS television station this was absolutely wonderful and divine ages ago. 🙏💛🎻

[@fernandogimenez4105]

Without a doubt one of the greatest of all time in Cello, ❤

[@fastfred1977]

My wife and I were at this concert! It was wonderful.

[@JoePalau]

His tone and sound is unforgettable. Lovely broad phrases played to their ultimate beauty. His playing inspired this orchestra to a pinnacle of greatness rarely achieved. Mazur surely helped, too ❤️❤️❤️

[@UNHMusic]

Thank you very much for this gem!

ロストロポービッチさんのドボルザークのチェロ協奏曲は、モスクワ放送交響楽団の来日公演に、行ったことがあり、素晴らしい演奏でした。懐かしいですね。配信ありがとうございます。

[@JuanMendoza-vg9jm]

Excellent presentation.

[@user-eq7jc3om1v]

Рострапович это мегагениально!!!

[@petros7929]

I watched this concert live on TV back then. Awesome. Some of the players back then are still here today. Not many though.

[@jg2977]

As a trombonist, I notice two of the trombones are still there. Joseph Alessi and David Finlayson.

I took these live broadcasts for granted. Sometimes the concerts were simulcast on the radio when televisions had poor speaker systems. Now, any Live from Lincoln Center concerts are far and few between. Who knows, maybe Gustavo Dudamel will bring them back, I hope so.

Brilliant recording of brilliant performance.

Le 16 septembre 1999 : le concerto de Dvorak, pour moi le plus beau concerto pour violoncelle qui soit, (mais je suis un incorrigible romantique depuis 77 ans ! Brahms, Berlioz, Chopin, Dvorak, Listz, Tchaïkovsky et tous les autres) 😢 À cette époque, le "Rideau de fer" s'était affalé en mille morceaux depuis peu de temps (en Allemagne comme partout en Europe) pour la plus grande satisfaction à Leipzig, de... Kurt Mazur ici présent 😉

Hello Igor! Thank you for your great posts. By any chance, do you have anything featuring André Watts?

[@davidparrish2534]

Just wonder what is your evaluation of the Ny phil today? I used to listen to their sunday night broadcast on the radio when i was in high school and it hooked me on classical music to this day . Decades later I dont believe they are nearly as good as they were years particularly under Bernstein What do you think?

[@jg2977]

I just saw them perform Mahler 2 and they were fantastic.

Thank you

[@ChicanoViolin]

Thank you!!

[@jg2977]

Thank for posting this. I’ll be performing Tchaik 5 with my community orchestra in February.

[@agaphonus]

Fine

[@handelviola]

This is a hard piece. Even the master struggles and missed a few things.

[@ryanbeck1338]

Did anyone catch the name of the Czech conductor who was Dvorak's student? I couldn't quite get it...Vaclav..t..?

[@jeandeblaize4175]

Vaclav Neumann, a dirigé aussi l'orchestre de Leipzig 😉

[@ryanbeck1338]

@@jeandeblaize4175 merci

[@jagareco]

do you have more concerts from this Live from Lincoln Center series? i'm searching for a Kubelik from 1976

[@greenemonger]

The second movement horn solo with vibrato is just soooo wrong IMO!

[@Robert…Schrey]

somehow Dvorak sounds American.

[@jeandeblaize4175]

Evitez le baratin, pour le concerto, commencez à 3.20 (et pour l'attaque du violoncelle : à 6.56 ! 😂)

[@imusici7919]

Back when the NY Phil actually programmed good European music and dressed nice..

[@davidblackburn3396]

You gotta be freaking kidding me. The "good old days?" Nostalgia ain't what it used to be.

[@stevenj9970]

Pity both solo cellist and 1st horn are past their respective primes...nice performance anyway.
