5.0 out of 5 stars A great CD showcasing a GREAT INSTRUMENT, September 23, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: The Instruments Of Classical Music: The Cello (Audio CD)

My brother bought me this CD when I started studying cello, and it provided an excellent collection of different celistic styles. All of the tracks are tuneful and many showcase virtuosic playing -- the listener gets a real feel for the variety and depth of the cello's sound.

Buy this CD if you love the instrument whose expressive timbre is closest to the human voice -- the cello :-)

I'm a cello player and happened upon this CD when I was in middle school. I ended up losing it, and recalled enjoying the CD so much that I actively searched for it when I got older. I finally found it and snatched it up. It's as good as I remember. There are some really great cello selections on the disc and they're performed really well.

I liked the cd. Nothing out of this world but for a compilation it is quite good.
