I have the Starker LP and the Rostropovich EMI CD, I prefer Rostropovich's more "emotional" presentation. That being said I listen to both and pick between them depending on my mood.

I wasn't sure about the "less precise" meaning so I didn't agree with you although I suspected that was what you were implying!!! I wanted to also make the point that the Rostropovich performance was good enough to be preferred over the sonically far superior Starker LP.
