Whats on your turntable tonight?

Dutilleux/Lutoslawski: Cello Concertos - Rostropovitch, Baudo/CzechPO, Lutoslawsk/OrchParis -EMI ASD 3145

A marvelous recording, perhaps one of the best cello concerto recordings in my collection. The Dutilleux is particularly attractive and interesting musically, not just sonically.

I see the Arthur Salvatore finally found this recording and gave it special recognition as "FINEST CELLO CONCERTO RECORDING" in March 2011.
