For connoisseurs only

Why has nobody else given this recording five stars? It’s the same on rec.music.classical and the like: everybody recommends Rostropovitch and all sorts of other cellists, and I never see Queyras mentioned. But this is inexplicable! As Amazon’s Edith says, he plays with “unfailingly beautiful, pure, variable tone, and total authority and involvement”. These are fascinating and lovely works, subtle and introspective: and listening to this recording you feel as though Queyras is sitting right beside you. What’s more, the price is excellent. Conclusion: only buy this CD if you’re sure you’re going to appreciate it. Otherwise don’t spread the word, and leave the stock for people who really know what’s worth listening to!
