I had not heard Emil\nGilels in chamber music before; he makes a fine partner for Kogan and\nRostropovich and seems to have a very clear idea of the \u003cem\u003eprimus inter pares\u003c\/em\u003e\nrole that Beethoven requires him to play in the Archduke Trio. A\nnaturally commanding player, he succeeds in catching just the right air\nof authority here. I hope we shall be offered much more of him in\nchamber music.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"western\"\u003eNot many years ago we used to be told quite\nregularly—and with some truth— that good chamber music playing could\nnever be hoped for from a collection of virtuosi. From an ad hoc\ncollection, no: the careless throwing together of soloists’\ntemperaments, such as we witnessed from time to time at international\nfestivals, could scarcely be expected to generate much light. But the\njuxtaposition of strong musical personalities in chamber music can\ncreate excitement when properly managed. It does so here. Kogan,\nRostropovich and Gilels play as one mind but at the same time as a mind\nwith three facets; the performance benefits considerably from the\nindividuality each retains.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"western\"\u003eThe playing as a whole is very strong and direct\n(though never forced or obvious) and I think that anyone expecting\nsoulfulness and \u003cem\u003eInnigkeit\u003c\/em\u003e above all in the Archduke might at\nfirst find the performance a little unsatisfying. Yet it is never\ninflexible: there is nothing relentless about any of the tempi and one\ngets the impression that there’s always time for the detail in the music\nto make effect. It is possibly a little lower in emotional temperature\nthan, say, the performance by Schneider, Casals and Istomin (Philips\nmono GBL5639) that I wrote about so enthusiastically in May last year.\nI’m still very taken with that record, in spite of the mediocre\nrecording quality. I must admit, however, that the tempi on this new one\nare far more likely to find general acceptance. Casals started the\nScherzo very slowly and made much of it sound almost rustic; with\nRostropovich and his colleagues the movement achieves a more natural\nlilt— a little less magic, perhaps, but an altogether easier flow. (It\nis worth mentioning, too, that they observe the double repeat, a fact\nwhich makes their fairly brisk tempo seem essential; the Prades players\non the other hand opted for a simple A В A + coda form and, as I’ve\nsaid, filled it out at a very deliberate pace—textually this can hardly\nbe correct.) In the slow movement the Russians stick close to the \u003cem\u003eandante cantabile mа però con moto \u003c\/em\u003eBeethoven\nasked for; Schneider, Casals and Istomin attempted the near-impossible\nhere and brought off a moving, wonderfully rapt adagio.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"western\"\u003eIt is probably not going to be very illuminating to\npursue comparisons further. This new record arrived rather late for\nreview and I haven’t had time to play it more than once. I doubt,\nthough, whether subsequent hearings would cause me to modify my initial\nimpression, which is of a perceptive, noble and justly proportioned\ninterpretation almost impeccably executed. But I’m also quite sure that I\nshall continue to delight in the old Philips record and to find equal,\nif different, pleasures there. The only general fault I can level at\nthis Russian performance is that its dynamic range is rather restricted.\nThis may be the fault of the recording, not of the players: though\nadequate in all respects it is not strikingly good in any and the\nquality of the sound does vary quite noticeably.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview by S.P., The Gramophone\u003c\/b\u003e, August 1963 - \u003cem\u003eLe Chant du Monde\u003c\/em\u003e LP issue\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9main_samplefb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5fsamples\/PACM090.mp3578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_labelfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5fProducer's Note578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_typefb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5fcontent578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_contentfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: x-large;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eBrilliant and rare Soviet chamber music recordings by Rostropovich\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eLegendary Archduke with Gilels and Kogan alongside long-lost Granados and Rachmaninov \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bodybigblue\"\u003eMstislav Rostropovich made a large number\nof recordings for release in the Soviet Union at the start of his\ncareer. Many of these were picked up by Western record companies either\nat the time or since, but there remain undiscovered treasures still to\nbe found. Here we mix the known and the unknown. It's no surprise to\nfind the Archduke turned up in the UK in the early 60s, and it's been\nreissued since. But I can find no solid account of two of the three\nrecordings with Alexander Dedyukhin that I discovered on a Soviet\ncompilation LP of recordings by the cellist and which we present here.\nBoth LPs were in very good condition, though the Soviet pressings\nweren't quite up to contemporary Western standards.
