I like Kramer`s, myself. Cool candenza by Schnittker. Kramer gives a
beautiful interpretation without the usual distortions of rhythm, i.e.
in some of the scale passages triplets are triplets and 16ths are 16ths
instead of a big whoosh. Damn, what's his name, the composer of the
cadenza (the timpani has a cameo in it!)
BTW, I am a new member of the list, an American professional cellist living
in Mallorca. I play in a chamber group, the Serafino Trio, and we'll be
doing a live webcast on 10 Sept. Watch this space for details!
