I'm not usually a fan of "historical" recordings, the simple fact being that there are usually excellent performances of most works in modern sound, and for the beginning listener, it's better to have a good performance in great sound than a great performance in horrible sound. This performance of the Dvorák concerto, however, really is special, as a souvenir of this century's most important cellist, as well as of a very great conductor and orchestra. Yes, the sound is restricted, but it's listenable, enough so to verify that the legendary status of this recording is well deserved. The Elgar Concerto--a comparatively minor work--makes an attractive bonus. --David Hurwitz
