One of my idols in recordings since my earliest cellistic days, what a treat to be able to hear him in pieces otherwise unrecorded, and to even be privy to practice sessions! In one of them you can even hear him emit an expletive when annoyed at himself! This is a gem, a true collector's item for the cognoscenti.

This review is from: Leonard Rose: The Memorial Edition (Audio CD)

What's so interesting about this 2-CD set is that it contains great cellist Leonard Rose's early playing--from the time when he was a student at Curtis Institute. People who already have other Rose's CDs will enjoy listening his music when he was a teenager. Since many of the pieces on the CDs, in the 1930s and 40s, were recorded for radio broadcasting, I have to admit that the sound quality is not superb. But, in spite of that, there are so much more in this CD set to explore Rose's music. The one small funny stuff is that, in the final piece, the producer put a very rare-to-hear, practice by Rose, which might encourage young cello students to head for more practice. After listening this 2 CDs, I felt like I can get a little closer to Rose in person.
