5.0 out of 5 stars Amazingly elegant sound. 26 April 2006
By David Smith
Format:Audio CD
Upon hearing this exceptionally beautiful rendition of Dvorak's cello concerto, I was particularly struck by Ms. Kotova's amazingly elegant sound. This is the achievement of this recording.

Ms. Kotova offers a refreshing and enlightened approach to this warhorse of warhorses. While there is still great intensity of sound, with virtuoso runs and large sonorities, etc., there is an elegance that surpasses most of the recordings made in the last 3 or 4 decades. This is far from your typical, generic modern recording.

Bravo to the conductor and the orchestra as well. What superb chemistry. How refreshing to have new recording of this, a work, that surely has been taken for granted as being only playable by the great old masters of the instrument.

5.0 out of 5 stars Maybe the best Dvorak Concerto recording yet 26 April 2006
By Cello Aficionado
Format:Audio CD
Just when you thought that the world did not need another recording of the Dvorak Cello Concerto, along comes Nina Kotova. What a fresh and original approach! Her playing has the kind of energy and momentum that is missing from so many other recordings, and it makes this great piece just burst to life! This is an extremely exciting and technically flawless performance. Kotova's sound is gorgeous too, ranging from the deepest bass to a singing soprano (the fact that she plays on the ex Du Pre Strad probably does not hurt either!). There is no doubt, Nina Kotova is one of the great artists of our time. Buy this CD, you will not be disappointed!

5.0 out of 5 stars absolutely gorgeous 26 April 2006
By Ted Frost
Format:Audio CD
I was very surprised to hear this beautiful account of a classic. The recording sounds a lot like the old classic recordings, and although Ms. Kotova plays with a fantastic

technique , the sound is expressive and the tone wonderful.
