Product Description
Product Description
Cellist Zuill Bailey 2010 recording of J.S. Bach's Suites for Solo Cello (TEL3197802) went straight to the top of the "Billboard" classical chart. His new Telarc album is devoted to the music of Brahms, and includes the Sonatas in E minor, opus 38 and F major, opus 99 alongside several rarely-recorded song transcriptions. Bailey's musical partner here is his longtime friend, the pianist Awadagin Pratt. Zuill Bailey made his Telarc debut with Russian Masterpieces for Cello early in 2009, a disc which featured music by Tchaikovsky and Shostakovich. Towards the end of last year he joined forces with pianist Simone Dinnerstein in a critically acclaimed recording of Beethoven's Complete Works for Piano and Cello. Since then his recording of J S Bach's cello suites has been a massive success particularly in the USA where it spent four weeks in a row at No. 1 on the Billboard classical chart, and even made the Top 30 in the New Artists chart. Along with Brahms' Cello Sonatas in E Minor and F Major, the album includes the composer's "Sonatensatz", the so-called "F-A-E Scherzo", which comes from a collaborative violin sonata composed by Brahms, Robert Schumann and fellow composer Albert Dietrich. It is heard here transcribed for the cello from the violin original. Also featured on the disc are transcriptions for cello and piano of seven of his songs including the ever-popular "Wiegenlied"("Lullaby"), "Melodien," "Sapphische Ode" (Sapphic Ode), "Feldeinsamkeit" (Solitude in the Fields), "Minnelied" (Love Song) and "Lerchengesang" (Lark Song). Personnel: Zuill Bailey (cello), Awadagin Pratt (piano)

if it wasn't for the audible breathing all over it!! The pieces are perfectly played and the recording quality is superb, but the breathing is utterly and insanely annoying!!! It's like the person sitting next to you has a cold and they are nearly gasping for breath during the entire performance! I think hearing a breath here or there can bring a personal quality to any live recording, but this is like watching a tennis match with one of the players grunting with EVERY stroke! I am terribly, terribly disappointed with this CD.

I knew very little of Brahms works and nothing of Zuill Bailey or Awadagin Pratt prior to purchasing this album. I only got it because when I heard the samples, I fell in love with the sound. I still don't know much about them except that they are extremely talented and play very beautifully. I have enjoyed this album immensely and listen to it often. If you have ever enjoyed a piano or a cello and ever had any inclination to listen to Brahms, get this album.

Zuill Baily and Awadagin Pratt have done a masterful job on this disc.
The performance is passionate and compelling.
Compared with other recordings in Baily's collection, the sonics of this one are clearly superior.
An audiophile's dream disc, a music lover's dream performance.
