Review title: The one to get
Product review: Of the five versions of the Bach cello suites that I have heard -- Rostropovich, Starker, Yo-Yo Ma, Casals, and Fournier -- the Fournier in my opinion must get the nod as the finest overall. Ma seems mannered to me, and Starker a bit on the dry side. The Casals is important historically, but I find it stiff in its phrasing. There are moments in the Rostropovich set that I treasure above the corresponding moments in the Fournier, but the sound is muddy and Rostropovich's intonation is, honestly, not all it could be in all instances. The Fournier is beautifully recorded, despite the rough spot noted by several other reviewers, rhythmically assured, deeply felt, noble, and completely in the service of the composer. It is thoroughly beautiful. If you like Arthur Grumiaux's version of the solo violin sonatas and partitas, you will like this version of the cello suites.
