****

“These recordings were all captured live at the Kronberg Cello Festival in 2007, the year of Mstislav Rostropovich's death, and the pieces were either written for him, premiered by him or… composed in his memory. The line-up includes some very distinguished names, and even the less familiar throw themselves into the celebration with commitment and fervour.”
