Hit: 3 Stars
This was the first recording I heard when I first came to know the piece. Now, I'm a cellist and subject to my own opinions on how to play this piece...be that as it may, there are still recordings I prefer of this piece. The first would be the historic Rostropovich recording with Ormandy, an any subsequent ones he made--the other would be a new one by Korean cellist Ha Na Chang with Pappano and the LSO. Chang's recording in particular offers a chilling sound in the horn and timpani that Naxos fails to deliver on this recording, as well as superior organization, energy, and technique with the soloist.
Maria Kliegel has made better recordings with Naxos, and I encourage listeners to check them out--her Lalo concerto, while not exactly historical or big-name, is pretty good.
