5 out of 5 stars stunning!.......2007-05-17

This DVD captured two masters at their prime. It took my breath away! I own CDs of these sonatas played by Casals/Serkin. But I rate Rostropovich/Ritcher higher. It is the straight-to-your-heart performance.

5 out of 5 stars Beethoven Cello Sonatas Nos. 1-5 / Rostropovich, Richter.......2004-12-18

There is simply no better performance of 69, audio or video. The transition in to the last movement is so dramatic, so exciting, taking your breathe away.

5 out of 5 stars Two Masters at the Height of their Powers.......2004-11-26

Despite his enormous discography, there's not a very rich visual record of Richter. He and Rostropovich excelled in concert performance, and these DVDs convey their intensity playing some of the best music ever written for the cello. Richter once said in an interview that Beethoven is a matter of life and death, and that feeling comes through quite clearly here. There's a bonus solo piano reading of Mendelssohn's Variations Serieuses, Op. 54, that is dazzling.
