cello music

I listen to mostly rock and Jazz...but I downloaded a song by Yo Yo Ma on Itunes just to check it out. I loved it. Can someone please recommend some vinyl or cd from this artist or other good cello recordings

Get the Brahms double concerto with Richter, Oistrakh, and Rostropovich. You also get the Beethoven triple concerto on that disc, but the Brahms I believe is the true prize there. Wonderful cello music.

OK, if you liked the Bach Cello Suites, you might also like any of the following collections of works for cello:

Music for a Glass Bead Game - Nathaniel Rosen, cello, and Arturo Delomoni, violin

Orientale - collection of short works for cello - Nathaniel Rosen

Marin Marais: Pièces de Viole du Second Livre - Jordi Savall

Simply Baroque - Yo Yo Ma

A strong recommendation for the Mercury Bach Suites for Solo Cello with Janos Starker. I have this in both vinyl and CD, they are nice but the vinyl is breathtaking. I also enjoy "Yo-Yo Ma Plays Ennio Morricone" from Sony. It is a CD of Ennio Morricone movie scores that they both reworked for cello. There are many more but these are among my favorite. I am also a big fan of the cello.

I strongly second the Starker version of Bach's Cello Siutes on vinyl. The reissue is fabulous but pricey, don't know if it's on regular CD and don't know if it's good. I would check it out anyway. Although I can hardily recommend the Archiv produktion, "lengedary recordings from Deutche Grammophone Catalog ", re-release of the same work with Pierre Fournier on Cello.
