Antonín Dvořák: Piano & Cello Concertos Wersja na CD w zremasterowane wydanie. Ta konkretna edycja została wydana w Czechy w wydawnictwie Supraphon dnia 8. listopada 2005.

Two Dvořák instrumental concertos performed by masters of their instruments. A piano concerto, long underrated as lacking in brilliance and virtuosity, performed by one of the greatest Czech pianists, František Maxián. The Cello Concerto, the last work Dvořák wrote during his stay in the United States. One of the world's finest cello concertos, performed by legendary cellist Mstislav Rostropovich. In 1952, the then twenty-five-year-old Rostropovich fascinated Prague audiences and critics alike. His Dvořák is brimming with youthful life, the joy of movement and melody, now with optimism, now with youthful poetic reverie. It is a performance that bears in every measure the marks of a great artistic personality and strong individuality, and yet bows with reverence and respect to the composer into whose service he puts all his enormous talent." For Rostropovich, working with Talich was and is an unforgettable experience: 'I consider this recording of Dvořák's Cello Concerto to be my best. And although I later made seven other recordings of this concerto, this one means the most to me. All my life I have remained faithful to what Václav Talich taught me." (Mstislav Rostropovich) Enthusiastic feedback, not only from critics. He was very enthusiastic. (Mstislav Rostropovich)
