This review is from: The Recorded Cello: The History of the cello on record, Vol. 2 (Audio CD)

For the right person this may be a treasure. However I was looking for some cello music for my wife and did not realize this was composed of actual recordings from records complete with very scratchy background like a 1940's victrola. I did not see the listen option when I ordered "The Recorded Cello" The merchant requests that I pay the return shipping which I think is a fair request.
