This review is from: Gabriel Faure: The Complete Music For Cello And Piano (Audio CD)
As a cellist who has listened to a large number of different cellists and recordings, I can honestly say that I think this is some of the best cello playing ever recorded. The second sonata and the Papillon are particularly beautiful, but the entire disk is just stunning. I could go on forever about his spectacularly fluid left hand technique and vibrato, his seemingly endless range of articulations, and his glowing, sparkling sound, but I'll just leave it at this: if you like cello music, you should get a hold of this CD (as well as his recording of Bridge and Britten sonatas). Barry Snider's accompanying is also stunning.
