5.0 out of 5 stars Technique To Burn ..., April 14, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Zuill Bailey (Audio CD)

Please disregard "A music fan's" review. He clearly does not own this recording, and has some issues with himself. I however DO own this CD. It is a joy to listen to, and I feel it is one of the finest examples of cello playing today. Of all the young cellists out there Zuill Bailey has his own voice. Technically,musically,and personally. His Bach is second to none. Rhythmically it is fantastic. So many interpreters of Bach don't have his rhytmic control. Rhythm is everything in Bach and Bailey shows that. I've never heard the Allegro Vivo in the Francoeur sonata played so crisply and cleanly at this daring tempo. As a violinist I can tell you how difficult Vieuxtemps' "Souvenir d'Amerique" is. It is a piece originally written for violin and many fiddle players don't even dare play it. Bailey is superb in his own transcription and it makes for a terrific ending. A HIGHLY RECOMMENDED DISC !

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible Cellist, April 18, 2003

This review is from: Zuill Bailey (Audio CD)

I've been following Zuill Bailey's career for years and I am so glad he finally released a CD! His live concerts are brilliant, but sadly they come to an end. Now I can listen to him all day long on repeat! Zuill Bailey is such a rare musician. His playing is infused with so much thought and care. It is just beautiful...and when he lets go, look out! His technique is on fire! (the last track will blow your mind) It's hard to believe he's also such a nice guy! (I met him once at a concert) I can't say enough about this wonderful CD, this musician, or this human being. Buy it now!
