I am searching for a cellist soloist who appeals to me. Since Casals,
I can't find one I really like. I usually use the Elgar Em concerto as
a test, partly because I heard Casals live which brought me to tears,
romance and the joy of melancholy. I would like to relive this in
recordings.
I have the Yo-Yo Ma and Du Pre recordings. I do not like Yo-Yo, techincally
brilliat, he has no passion, IMO. Du Pre is better, but no Casals. The
mono Casals recordings do not do him justice.
Would anyone recommend a 'passionate' cellist young enough to have
recorded DDD modern recodings?
TIA,
Bill
