Cello
 

can anyone recommend any cello music? solo/groups, anything?
im probably not looking for anything particularly avant garde, maybe somewhere between there and classical............ or just classical.
actually, i dont really know what i want.

(there is some cello in there somewhere)

This isn't strictly a "cello piece", but it's lovely, and the cello in it is especially beautiful.

On a completely different note, I love Arthur Russel's cello playing.

disregard all above posts, I have exactly what you're looking for.

ugh, he plays it WAAAAAY too fast. I prefer Maisky's version.

Oh Dude....the Naxos 2Cd Bach Cello Suites. It's fantastic.

































Or ELO.

you could try some Sollima, contemporary beauty with some "more modern" twists:

i'm surprised nobody has mentioned Tom Cora

what's that?

My friend an frequent cohort Derek M. Johnson from Olympia is a true gem of experimental cello music. Incredibly decent human being too, which may or may not inform his playing. Does a nice cover of the Doctor Who theme as well.

This is a cool band from Chicago. Usually the only instruments are two cellos. I don't know what's up with their current songs, because the old ones they had up were much, much better, but they seem to change the songs all the time so check back and they might get something good up again. "Barry" is still one of the best songs they've written, though.

There's some cello in Godspeed You! Black Emperor albums.

Oh, don't know why I forgot Zoe Keating either. She's amazing.

I love Cello. Used to play it in Germany when I lived there. Haven't since. I do miss it so very much.
