I mostly didn’t want a purist insulting someone’s post. I see that a lot on Reddit. Well, it would’ve happened on here a few years ago, I think. I don’t like to see it because specific recordings can mean a lot to people for whatever reason.

I’ve really been enjoying historical recordings lately. I think I’ve learned a lot from them, especially with pieces I’m already familiar with.

Dvořák - Cello Concerto in B minor, Op. 104, B. 191

A string breaks at 29:40. I love the way she handles it.

"Les Rêves de Colombine" a Commedia dell'Arte-inspired suite by Amy Beach. (I've had a go at playing the 4th movement, which I have in a piano anthology.)

Shostakovich - Violin Concerto No. 1 (Oistrakh/Mitropoulos)

The audio is really crisp for being such an old recording (1956). I love this concerto.

Thank you TwilightPrincess. I agree with this.

I think I have been reacting a little against contemporary virtuosity

some of it feels facile and lacking in depth of musicality to me. So I've been spending a lot of time with older recordings.

Coming from strings a big part of my education now is actually learning to listen for the piano and understand what it is doing. Discovering new things in old favourites is a real joy.

Jacqueline du Pré... she was amazing.

Live recording from several concerts - not certain where (Leiden, according to file metadata?) and when (possibly 1998?). It would be good to know this information. With additional encores & arrangement of BWV 1013. Audio quality can be quite variable and the Gigue of the 4th suite is missing, but I hope it does give another glimpse of Bylsma's art.

Baroque violoncello: Matteo Goffriller, 1695
Violoncello Piccolo: Anonymous Tyrolean around 1700

For me this is nearly definitive. This is baroque cello, lads.
