A musically interesting coupling, given that for the Strauss the soloist is (or should be) a first among equals, whereas in the concerto Dvorák places him very much in the spotlight. Mischa Maisky’s earlier DG account of the Dvorák had Leonard Bernstein at the helm, quite different to the urbane and thoughtful Zubin Mehta, a superb accompanist in the sense that he so often makes chamber music of the score, delving behind the notes even when the cellist hogs the limelight. He also handles transitions well; for example, the shadows that fall among lower strings at around 8’20” and the fluttering woodwinds that emerge out of them. Maisky’s ensuing solo work has a hushed, almost fragile feel to it. Elsewhere he’s unremittingly intense and takes a fairly liberal view of note values, lingering here, pushing forth there, much as he does for his first entry after the opening tutti.
