Achingly beautiful music for celloMay 20, 2008 Weatherbird(Hawaii) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is an album of short pieces for cello and chamber orchestra. Some of the works are arrangements of pieces not originally written for cello. Most of the works are by famous classical composers such as JS Bach and Tchaikovsky, but there is also an arrangement of Henry Mancini's 'Moon River'. All of the music is beautiful and skillfully performed and the sound quality is excellent. The mood of the recording is generally serious, sometimes even somber, but even the darker pieces are achingly beautiful.
