Title: Musically very pleasing, though not the best.
Product review: It would be harsh - with such great exponents of these suites recorded before him, to compare Mr. Ma's playing with other great cellists.I agree that if you concentrate on the dances in the suites, you will find the best of Ma's interpretation. They are musical, soulful and beautiful. Elsewhere, like in Preludes, the required depth and nuance are some what missing. Listen to Rostropovich, for example, an immediate difference surfaces.Even so, a 4 star rating is still well-deserved, bearing in mind that Mr. Ma was not yet 30 years old when he recorded this album.
