This review is from: Schumann: Concerto For Cello And Orchestra In A Minor/Fantasiestücke/Adagio & Allegro In A Flat Major/5 Stücke Im Wolkston (Audio CD)

This recording of Schumann's Cello Concerto by Yo-Yo Ma, with Sir Colin Davis conducting the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, is truly first rate. My first experience with the Schumann Cello Concerto was Jacqueline du Pre's version on EMI. While that performance is perfectly good, I find Ma's reading to be superior. I also prefer that this disc sticks to music for cello, while the du Pre includes the Schumann piano concertos played by her husband Daniel Barenboim. On this disc, Ma again joins his favorite partner in crime, Emanuel Ax, to perform three gorgeous pieces for cello and piano. Yet again, Yo-Yo Ma sets the bar for all Cello Concerto performances to come.

This review is from: Schumann: Concerto For Cello And Orchestra In A Minor/Fantasiestücke/Adagio & Allegro In A Flat Major/5 Stücke Im Wolkston (Audio CD)

I was asked to bring favorite CDs to a Music History class on the Turtle Mountain Indian Reservation. Yo Yo Ma with his piano accompanist featured in the Cello Concerto. I don't always know what I am listening to, but I know what I like. The mello cello doing Schumann is my idea of a great way to spend a late summer evening. The price is right for Our Price, See all new, and See all used. No way am I going to resell mine. I buy these three and hold, not like the stock market. Yes, Du Pre is excellent. But isn't it glorious who comes out of Julliard. Schumann's Adagio and Allegro by Ma and Ax are also worthwhile. My fancy is stuck on the Fantasiesstuke.
