Rostropovich Elgar Cello Concerto 1. Adagio - Moderato

Rare recording of Rostropovich playing Elgar Cello Concerto with Moscow Philharmonic under Rakhlin, 1958. He later removed this work from his performing repertoire: "I stayed away from the Elgar because I think of that piece as somewhat naïve. The theme from the slow movement sounds like it's about first love, so I think it's more appropriate for a young person. My pupil Jacqueline du Pré played it much better than I because I didn't have the fresh perspective that a piece like that requires. After playing Don Quixote, the Shostakovich concertos, and other works, it was hard for me to go back to a piece like the Elgar." (interview with Tim Janof)
