Not on your list, but I'd recommend checking out Zuill Bailey's recent release. It is fantastic!!!
Hello Macallan25

Here is a link to my recommendation above for the Daniil Shafran. It truly is a spectacular performance and excellent recording quality as well. At the price, it is well worth you trying.

I hope that this will be helpful.

big starker fan. Less fast than the yo-yo ma's, more emotions. For some the finger movements can be distracting though. For me, it's part of the live experience.
