Wallfisch is indeed a wonderful artist who has both a big and dramatic tone in his cello, and also a strong flexible sensibility to new and contemporary trends! This one is simply his best, unmatched by anyone else, even by himself. In fact, he has never performed so well after this cd! The rivalling versions, either lack the heart-felt emotional output (like Yo-yo-ma's, quite strange ), or technically less satisfactory( like Tim Hugh's)! Only if Du Pre had ever played this piece, I feel perhaps he may be threatened!
Wallfisch's Moeran cello concerto is also a must in the desert island! His other cds are not essential collections, though.
