For cello enthusiasts and Fournier fans

This box gathers some of the most beautiful and receptive technically most successful (partly also separately available) shots with this wonderful cellist from a period (60 years), in which the reviewer has repeatedly heard him live, so the reference recording of the Dvorak Concerto with Szell or a wonderfully romantic interpretation of the cello concerto by CPE Bach.

Repertoire default representatively the contents of the box is terrible. There are missing as the reference recording of the Triple Concerto by Beethoven with Friczay or the cello sonatas of Beethoven (sold separately) or the Schumann Concerto and the Rococo Variations, which has its currently recorded only with Rostropovich the German Grammophon.

Therefore it is advisable to supplement the EMI box "Pierre Fournier - The Aristocrat of Cellists" to acquire the corresponding receptacles with Fournier from the 40s and 50s compiled (s to the local review of the author.).

To praise is still that of the gramophone box beige passed booklet, because it illustrates an informative accompanying text with some nice pictures of Fournier, with his wife and son as well as with other cellists.
