BEETHOVEN: CELLO SONATAS NOS. 3 and 5 (Angel). From the beauty of tone and sensitivity of interpretation, listeners would scarcely suspect that the cellist is only 22, the pianist 27. Jacqueline du Pré, a child prodigy in England and recent student of the Russian virtuoso Mstislav Rostropovitch, handles her cello as gloriously as any master three times her age; Los Angeles-born Stephen Bishop, former student of Myra Hess, makes an impressive partner...
