I purchased this disc looking for a recording of the J.C. Bach Cello Concerto, which I was playing at the time. The performance is alright, though I was disappointed to find that Yuli Turovsky plays part of the solo down an octave, so as to not have to switch to a higher position. Anyway, in general, it's an ok recording, but if you are a cello player, you may want to look for another recording of the piece.

Works by Casadesus, Boccherini and J C Bach are exceptionally done. The music is deliciously crafted, finely orchestrated. This group, along with its conductor, Yuli Turovsky, are destined to become legendary. These classical pieces are done with great precision and feeling and are articulate and emphatic without the usual heaviness. I know of but few ensembles with as much feeling and sheer musical artistry. I highly recommend this recording along with other Turovsky records.

If you love classical music, then this is the cd for you. I would have to say that this is a must have for anyone that appreciates the Bach legacy of music, and hearing the sweet tones of a cello solo. Buy this cd now.
