Due to a recent rise in interesting young soloists, the cello has again become one of the most popular concert instruments. It is therefore all the more exciting to once again hear some of the most important cellists of the 20th century, whose abilities can be admired on the 10 CDs of this documentation. Phonographic and radio recordings capture the richness of their musical instruments, including the great cellos of Domenico Montagnana and Antonio Stradivari, which are worth millions of dollars today. Haydn, Schubert, Brahms, Beethoven, Boccherini, Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninov, Schumann, Dvorak, Chopin, Debussy and Hindemith have dedicated some of their most charming, often important works to the instrument with the enthralling sound, which can be heard on these CDs.
