Even though I thouroughly enjoyed all of the Naxos CPE Bach discs, this one is my favorite. Even though originally composed for other instruments and transcribed by Bach, these concertos work perfectly with the cello and are well performed by Hugh and the orchestra.

The two concertos in A are out and out masterpieces with long, palpably emotional slow movements that as the Amazon review states have almost Romantic feel but the outer movemements are Classical in their mixture of their exuberance and restraint d concerto is almost as good.

This CD is one that I have listened to several times without becoming bored and always tearing up at this beautiful music.

The tempo of this performance is so quick it is stressful to listen to. I have another performance, done at a slower pace, that I love.
