Editorial Reviews

Listeners familiar with Fournier's classic '60s DG studio recordings of the Bach suites will find little difference in these live readings taped in 1959 by Swiss Radio. Few cellists matched Fournier in this repertoire for his fusion of instinct and insight, or his eloquent, effortless technique. These qualities ring just as true in an unspliced environment as in the studio, although one understandably finds more ghosted notes or pitches not quite centered. DG is first choice, but Fournier fans wanting a cheaper alternative will not be disappointed. --Jed Distler
