I strongly recommend this album:

thanks SATCHMO, getting it now

well as i explore this, i'm realizing how different the same piece can sound depending on who plays it.

i found Bach's cello suites by Rostropovich and i love how they sound, but the same pieces played by Pablo Casals just irritate me.

i've also realized that i really don't like piano together with cello. and i don't like most concertos i've heard - there's just too much going on. though i've been enjoying Vivaldi's cello concertos, they're all strings and they sound exquisite!

If you're down with string quartets, I highly recommend The Takacs Quartet performing Bartok's 6 String Quartets. Absolutely one of my favorite classical recordings.

listening now. it's a bit too complex for my tastes. i don't think i'm ready for it yet!

Might I recomend Concerto for Cell in C Minor? It's a bit on the depressing side, but it's wonderfully written.

Music isn't notes on a page. Notes on a page are ink. I promise. What makes notes music, is the musician. The element we like to call Hu for Human. Music is made from the interepertation of the musicians, which is why the same piece can be played in hundreds of different ways. Even ensembles look at the same piece of music and play it differently than another group. Luckily, when you purchase a piece of music, you recieve the right of what's called "Freedom of Interpertation", or "Poetic Liberty".

I've listened to something by Arvo Part called Fratres for Cello and Piano, and I thought it was absolutely wonderful. But whatever floats your boat.
lolwut?
Why isn't that quote showing up???

It's not showing up because you have two opening quote tags, and no closing quote tags. A closing quote tag looks like this: [/quote]. Change the second quote tag to a closing quote tag by adding the /.

It's ok, we all make mistakes. After all, if we didn't, how would we ever learn?
