A kindred spirit reviews one of my fave 2014 recordings

Music Lane

It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Yeah! Reviewer Ralph Moore on Music Web International tells it like it is with Nina Kotova's recording of the Bach Cello Suites:
her sound is big and warm and both technique and intonation are flawless. It's better than Rostropovich['s], profound as his recording in Vézelay is. She negotiates the intervals in the tricky descending passage of the Prelude in No. 4 better than he. She favours a broad legato and creates an extraordinarily rich, burring tone, such as in the frenetic double-stopped passages in the Prelude to No. 3. Her choice of tempi is moderate; overall she falls somewhere in between the luxuriance of Rostropovich, who takes, 148 minutes, and the lean incisiveness of Starker, who comes in at a mere 112.
Uh. . . the reason Starker comes in at only 112 minutes is because he leaves out some of the second-half repeats! Nevertheless, for the most part, Ralph gets it right! A link to the whole review is below:
