Perfection!

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Principal cellist of the Dresden Staatskapelle, Peter Bruns plays a 1730 vintage Tononi that once belonged to Casals. In some respects, Bruns's rhythmic freedom and expressive fervor mirror Casals's "play Bach like Brahms" mindset. He also gives Casals's vocal grunts and grimaces a run for their money. Every so often Bruns's astounding facility gets the better of him, especially in introspective movements where his agogic tinkerings rupture continuity, and also in protruding accents elsewhere. Still, the playing is never less than interesting, and gorgeously recorded too. --Jed Distler"
