The renowned 20th century cellist Paul Tortelier recorded exclusively for EMI during most of his career. This 2010 box set includes most of these recordings by this musician, who was a student of Pablo Casals and a teacher (for a short time) of Jacqueline du Pré. In addition to being a comprehensive view of Tortelier's playing, it also covers the greatest works of the cello repertoire, from Bach's suites to Tchaikovsky's Rococo Variations to Richard Strauss' Don Quixote, a piece with which Tortelier became particularly associated. There is even a suite by Tortelier himself. The recordings date from the 1940s to the 1980s, so sound quality does vary. ~ Patsy Morita, Rovi
