Mstislav Rostropovich, violoncello & Sviatoslav Richter, piano Recorded (live): Parish Church, Aldeburgh, 20 June 1964 The Brahms Cello Sonata in e minor with Richter have circulated for years on the tape underground but here we have the BBC’s own masters in stereo. These tapings are also notable because they are among the very few performances that the duo gave outside Russia.
