Musical Comparisons Revisited

The links in my posting of January 28th had you skipping about and the original Rostropovich video is no longer available. What follows is a better organization of resources. The Beethoven Cello Sonata no. 4 remains the same, but the players are grouped according to whether they are playing Part I or Part II.

Part I

Yo Yo Ma
Lynn Harrell, Vladimir Ashkenazy - Christina Ricci
The "Boots" Recording - need a citation (Fournier and Gulda)
Olga Mancescu
Hitting All the Notes? Need a citation here as well.
Kempff & Fournier - Beethoven cello sonata no.4 (I) - Andante - Allegro vivace
Self-publishing, private performance - need citation (Cello Journey #15)

Part II

Beethoven Cello Sonata No. 4 in C major, op. 102 - 2nd Movement Fournier/Gulder (Van Gogh)
Ludwig Hoelscher & Elly Ney plays Beethoven Cello Sonata No.4 2n movement
Kempff & Fournier - Beethoven cello sonata no.4 (II) - Adagio - Tempo d`Andante - Allegro
Cello Journey #18 (same self-publishing, private performance).

I'll introduce the comparison exercise in class today, but you should feel free to listen to the first few notes of each part and begin to form your own opinion.
