My Favourite Cello (Tortelier, de Machula, Fournier, Piatigorsky)

This is a sampler of different legendary cello players, with digitally remastered recordings from 1946-1950. I found Gregor Piatigorsky especially good playing Dvořák's concerto, which I have heard with Rostropovich. This Centurion Classics CD is well worth (and very cheap) because of Dvořák's concerto. The Beethoven's variations are interesting, too.
