Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

this is an excellent set of music for cello. admittedly, they are not always the best recordings, but it is an incredible amount of music for a very low price. for those who are new to classical music, this a great way to hear wonderful music. for those like myself who have an extensive collection, it is a way to hear different versions of familiar works. my only annoyance with this and the others in this series (which are also excellent) is that amazon does not tell you who the composers are. so, as a public service, i will do this for you. :o) 1 bruch - kol nidrei 2-7 bach - suite 1 for solo cello 8-10 dvorak - cello concerto in b minor (opus 104) 11 saint-saens - the swan from carnival of the animals 12-15 rachmaninov - cello sonata in g minor (opus 19) 16 tchaikovsky - variations on a rococo theme 17-20 elgar - cello concerto in e minor (opus 85) 21 rachmaninov - vocalise (opus 34) 22-25 chopin - cello sonata in g minor (opus 65) 26 dvorak - silent woods 27-30 shostakovich - cello concerto in e flat major (opus 107) 31 mendelssohn - song without words (opus 109) 32-34 brahms - cello sonata in e minor (opus 38) 35 dvorak - rondo in g minor (opus 94) 36-38 saint-saens - cello concerto in a minor (opus 33) 39-41 debussey - cello sonata in d minor (L135) 42 saint-saens - romance in f major (opus 36) 43-45 haydn - cello concerto in c major (hob viib-1) 46-48 haydn - cello concerto in d major (hob viib-2) 49 faure - siciliene from pelleas et melisande (opus 78) 50-55 bach - suite 3 for solo cello 56 rimsky-korsakov - flight of the bumblebee 57-59 c.p.e. bach - cello concerto in a major (wq 172) 60-62 prokofiev - cello sonata in c major (opus 119) 63-65 schuman - cello concerto in a minor (opus 129) 66 stravinsky - suite italienne (1932) 67-70 shostakovich - cello sonata in d minor (opus 40) 71-73 khachaturian - cello concerto in e minor (1946) 74 faure - apres un reve 75-77 kodaly - cello sonata (opus 8) 78-80 barber - cello concerto in a minor (opus 22) 81-83 reger - suite in g major (opus 131c) 84-86 prokofiev - symphony/concerto (sinfonia concertante) in e minor for cello & orchestra (opus 125) 87-92 bach - suite 5 for solo cello 93-96 britten - cello symphony (opus 68) 97 britten cello suite (opus 72) 98-99 myaskovsky - cello concerto in c minor (opus 66) enjoy!
