I agree with Frogman: when i was about 15 and hardly into this kind of stuff at all my friends father gave me a bunch of lps. One day i was really sick with the flu, fever and everything. for some reason i put on Casals 'bach, the six suites for cello solo' on angel records. i remember clearly starting to semi-hallucinate while listening...ok, i had a fever, but the sound of the cello was transporting and i spent the entire day dragging my sweaty body out of bed to flip the albums over (although this is when i had a stacking tt!). ever since then i've been hooked on these recordings. ive tried to find their equal and have had no luck - im not into classical music but this is the real shit. there is nothing i have found that comes close to the magic found here - it's spooky. even other casals ive bought dont come close. ive never heard anyone talk about this recording until i read frogman's post. ive still got the albums and they still freak me out when i listen to them. you cant go wrong here! hey, frogman, any other casals recs?
