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. |
