Help! I just found some videos on YouTube of a concert Elbow did with the BBC Orchestra. Does anyone know where I can find a high quality stream of this concert? Thank you.

Solo cello music speaks to us so well because its frequency covers the same range as the human voice..... discuss.

What do you think of the Queyras recording?

Excellent. It is a pretty crowded field but these recordings are very natural, un-ostentatious and with a nice acoustic. I haven't heard the Isserlis set, just the hallmark Tortelier which is obviously of a different age.
Often the Cello Suites, like the Beethoven piano sonatas, are attempted later in a career but Queyras proves to be an exception to that rule.

Fully agree, these are very persuasive.
