About

In 1967, New York Impresario Sol Hurok presented Rostropovich in 8 monumental evenings in Carnegie Hall from February 23 to March 12.

Rostropovich was accompanied by the London Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Gennadi Rozhdestvensky. He performed 30(!) cello concertos, offering standard cello concerto repertoire and new works, several of which were written for him and two were world premieres. From these, a selection of 21 concertos from the 1967 performances, plus one concerto from 1964, are presented in this 6 CD set.
