Gluck

Play 30s sample:

This delightful short piece for solo cello with piano accompaniment, transcribed from Gluck's "Orphée", shows the playing of Feuermann off to wonderful effect - he appears not to much to play the cello as to pour the notes out of it and onto the record, each one dripping with pathos and passion.

This gorgeous recording was originally issued in a coupling with Brahms' First Sonata for Cello and Piano (PACM035).
