About

Among the legendary cello virtuosos of the twentieth century, János Starker was the most flawless, unrivalled in the way he constantly combined technical perfection, focused sound, exciting expression and objective conception. Starker dedicated himself to repertoire from Bach to the modern classics, as well as intently promoting new music. His playing is often described as a “mixture of fire and ice”, characterised by an indomitable, forward-driving power and a linear tension that leaves no room for self-indulgence. János Starker was one of the greatest cellists, whose performances have permanent value, as these recordings demonstrate.
