Please recommend!
 
I [size=small]♥ the Yo-Yo Ma: Solo album I picked up.  The Fountain official soundtrack was great, but the recording quality is sub-par.[/size]
 
[size=small]Picking up these guys soon: [/size]https://portlandcelloproject.com/

go to Linn Records and check out Bach Cello Suites by Richard Tunnicliffe.  If you can play high res files it is worth the money as it is probably the most impressive and stunning recording i own regardless of genre.

Bought the redbook version - it's good!  Thanks for the recommendation.

The Goat Rodeo Sessions are outstanding. It's Yo-Yo Ma with another cellist, a fiddler, and a banjo. Very interesting stuff!

 
Also anything by Rasputina, if you're interested in Cellos with a bit of a popular music bent. Particularly off their albums Frustration Plantation or Sister Kinderhook

I have really been enjoying this work by Janos Starker this year!

Dvorak's Cello Concerto played by Jacqueline du Pré and Chicago Symphony Orchestra is very nice IMO.

I just picked this up.

Also, if anyone is interested, this is an odd one out of my collection:
 

 
 
Black Angels is an experimental composition, and it's interesting to say the least, probably unlike any quartet piece I've ever heard before.  George Crumb, the composer, meant for the violin to be the devil's music and the cello to be the voice of God.  For those of you brave enough, check it out.

Zoe Keating is also nice.

Can't forget the Elgar Concerto if we're gonna mention Du Pre!

With $$$ set aside for tubes and tweaks, will see if one of my libraries has it...thanks, sphinxvc.

Silent One, I finally got this in the mail today.  It took 2 weeks to get here and when it finally did the jewel case was pretty beat up, but the DVD was in perfect condition.  
 
Anyway, this is an amazing recording--any other DAD music you recommend?  
 
Thanks for sharing!

Congrats on making that move and making this disc happen!

 
Man, I've been so broke over tweaks and upgrades, music purchases have slowed dramatically. When I find something, I share it here with y'all. One thing that made me mad about this DAD from Starker is I lack speakers. 

 And playing it made me wanna hear that way!
