Hey, David, it is nice to see you around – the heavy musical artillery came eventually to my site.
Regarding Casals, yes it might be sentimental but he should be heard on 78s or with better transfer to appreciate completely his “complexity”. Still I am in a way agree with you that Casals might lack some testerone.
I did not mention Schnittke No. 1 because I am not familiar with this concerto. I know it exist but I do not recall I heard it. Schnittke music could be “interesting” and could be unbearable… I will put his Cello No. 1 on my list for this summer to listen.
Yes, please post additions to the List and I will enter them into the Grid.
Rgs,
Romy
