cello music

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.

pick up the cd Appaloosa on critics choice. a classic acoustic rock band with guitar, bass, violin and cello. produced by al kooper, it was way ahead of its time. great songs too.

...Might want to try Erik Friedlander (Topaz, Quake or Maldoror). Same w/Vincent Courtois (Translucide or anything he's done w/ Louis Sclavis). Hanks Roberts and Tom Cora have put out some interesting stuff too.
