Pablo Casals

Description:

The second release in the "Sony Classical Masterpieces Collection 1000". Pablo Casals was a cellist who fled to Prado, a cold village in France, during the Spanish Civil War. This album is a record of his performances in Prado and other places around 1950, and includes his only recording of Schumann's concerto and other works. Along with his trademark "bird song," this work conveys the humanity of Casals, a rare performer.
