Schubert, Schumann, Debussy: Arpeggione

As the booklet quotes, the sound quality is amazing... it is so warm yet harsh. Both musicians, Rostropovich(cello) & Britten(piano) are so well coupled that it sounds as a perfect unit. And though the Schubert's Arpeggione sonata is simple, it is so direct and with such an emotional interpretation that it keeps resounding after it is over. Amazing sound produced by the cello, with plucked chords at some point.
Schumann's five pieces are quite lively and wholehearted.
Debussy is more contemplative and excessively tentative, instead of inspired to my taste.

Definitely a must buy!!
