About

“The performance is an eloquent one, and Rostropovitch's playing shows his beautiful tone and masterly technique … a very faithful recording, a true balance of tone between soloist and orchestra” - Gramophone (Prokofiev)

“The best performance of all, however (and best recording) is that of Rostropovich - more fanciful altogether, and backed up by orchestral playing from the Philharmonia under Sargent that is a genuine contribution to an exciting performance.”  Gramophone (Saint-Saëns)
