Title: Yes, it is romantic and heavy
Review: Of course everyone hears different regarding string players, and in Baroque Music it's even worse. Maisky's first recording of the Suites was heavy handed and poorly understood. I think he does no better in this new recording. If you want these Suites in a modern cello you should stick with the classic 1961 Pierre Fournier version in Archiv, after 40 years still a marvelous recording from the most elegant of cellists. But you would be wrong to think that period instruments are dry or austere. Do please listen to Pieter Wispelwey's new recording in Channel Classics, it's so vibrant and imaginative that it's a delight. This recording will get my vote as the finest recording available today, though Anner Bylsma on SONY should also be considered.
