		Mstislav Rostropovich, the veteran cellist and conductor played with all his customary passion but paradoxically lacked presence: almost as if a shroud had been draped over him, the ‘cellist a ghost of his former self.
		One felt that the tremendous applause for Rostropovich was more for a life dedicated to music and past glories rather than this present or (rather absent) performance.
		The organ part was played with sombre, brooding intensity in the The Death of Andri, and the coda with timpanist, tubular bells and orchestra ended this great work with exhilarating affirmation.

		He plays with great intensity, but never histrionically, the wonderful fourth movement sounds more perfect in his hands than in anyone else's and the poetry of the fading end (Baudelaire whispering 'hold fast to your dreams'?) is spell-binding.
