Negative Positive
Title: a terrific bargain
Review: This is an outstanding anthology of concertante music for cello. It contains one definitive interpretation and several others that are worth having; on this disc, they can be had readily and cheaply. The definitive performance is Ofra Harnoy's 'Kol Nidrei', which I think has not been bettered by anyone and has only been equaled by Casals. The rarities include Steven Isserlis in Bargiel's lovely, unknown 'Adagio' and music of Elgar and Delius by Janos Starker. You also get major portions of the Dvorak and Schumann concertos in outstanding performances by Gregor Piatigorsky and Isserlis. Many people will also be delighted by Yo-Yo Ma in Tchaikovsky's Rococo Variations; it's not my favorite, but it certainly gives pleasure. All of this disparate music in one place for the price of a few dollars (including shipping) is a bargain beyond compare.
