Title: Total disappointment
Review: It is admittedly difficult to find a recording of Tchaikovsky's Pezzo Capriccioso on Amazon, so I was obliged to buy this recording "blind". On it, French cellist Maurice Gendron delivers one of the most disappointing, and sometimes even laughable, performances I have heard to date. Instrumentalists in the early 1900s were in the habit of frequent glissandi, i.e. Heifetz and Primrose, but sliding to and from every shift, as Gendron does, is beyond poor taste. There is little music-making in this performance. It is so atrocious, actually, that the CD was returned to Amazon before even giving Symphony No. 3 a listen.
