I listened to it as a young collector and enjoyed Rostopovich with Karajan but it fell out of favor with me. When I voted in the Gramophone poll of the top 100 recordings of the 20th century it was the only one I voted for that made the list.

Today I much prefer the Haydn concertos, Victor Herbert's Concerto No. 2, Beethoven's Triple Concerto & Offenbach's "Military" Concerto to the Dvorak. This isn't commentary on the quality of the Dvorak, just the rotation of my preference.
