“Pure gold” is how the New York Times once described the playing of Leonard Rose.
To mark the centennial of the renowned American cellist’s birth, Sony Classical is pleased to announce a comprehensive reissue of his concerto and solo chamber discography on 14 CDs.
Made for American Columbia over a quarter century from 1949 to 1974, the recordings include Rose’s collaborations with three of America’s finest orchestras – those of New York, Philadelphia and Cleveland – under their iconic conductors Dimitri Mitropoulos, Bruno Walter, George Szell, Leonard Bernstein and Eugene Ormandy.
