Inspiring Cello Recordings

Cellist Rick Moody once said, "If God had designed the orchestra, then the cello was His greatest accomplishment." Is this true? Listen and I think you'll find the answer.

One of the greatest cellists of all time, Mstislav Rostropovich, once said, "When I started learning the cello, I fell in love with the instrument because it seemed like a voice - my voice." I found that statement to be absolutely true.


With joy,
