...library of fine cello musk. Casals' technical genius, moreover, virtually revolutionized cello playing. He extended the instrument's physical possibilities, stretching his left hand over the finger board instead of sliding it, and in so doing broadened the range of phrasing, intonation and expression. The outstanding cellists who followed?Emanuel Feuermann, Gregor Piatigorsky, Pierre Fournier, Leonard Rose, Janos Starker?all owe Casals a monumental debt...

Here he turns to Beethoven with a dream technique that more than meets the virtuoso demands of both works. But unlike many a prizewinner, he has much more than dexterity going for him. Ax controls the music completely, not it him. Such ease, logic and warmth suggest that he is a Beethoven pianist to keep...
