Notes and Editorial Reviews
Fournier’s Apollonian performances, recorded December 1960, are wonderfully felt, wonderfully played, and have a matchless amplitude and beauty of tone. With his meditative yet confident approach, the French cellist opens up an emotional realm mere mortals have the good fortune to inhabit only on very rare occasions. He plays the low C at the end of the concluding Gigue of the C minor Suite as if it were the alpha and omega of all the music ever written for the cello, which in a way it is; such insights abound in this mid-priced set. The recording is gorgeous. – Ted Libbey, author of
