Because nobody asked, Paul’s personal favorite cellists:
Mstislav Rostropovich
Jacqueline du Pré
Barbara Thiem ←(my favorite Bach cello suites, even more than Rostro, but unfortunately almost impossible to find the album!)
I have also recently been loving recordings by Abel Selaocoe and Zuill Bailey. And I have to give a shout-out to marvelous improvising cellists here in the Twin Cities: Michelle Kinney, Aaron Kerr, and Jacqueline Ultan. Cello! If my instrument weren’t already piano….
