Pablo Casals: Song Of The Birds/More Cello Encores

Recommended for cello enthusiasts. A pleasant selection of pieces well digitally re-mastered.

Hauntingly beautiful music by the master of the cello. Song of the Birds would come with me to my desert island.

Beautiful, haunting music.

Glorious stuff!

I bought this for Casals' recording of the 'Song of the Birds' in order to be able to have the Public Recording Rights embedded on a CD I was compiling for the music used at my wife's funeral. It didn't disappoint after an interval of many years when I saw a recorded television presentation of Casals playing this live at Prades. He is of course the supreme cello player of his time, and the other encores were equally delightful, if less well known at least to me.Bruce Holland, Dorstone, Herefordshire, January 2016.
