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

Jian Wang is a wonderful cellist, indeed. I enjoyed watching an interview with him on youtube recently, which I found after listening to performances by him on the Maria Joao Pires chamber music boxed set. I'd love to hear his Bach.

The Starker performances don't quite do it for me. I've heard some of the the Mercury on master tape and they do sound fine; nevertheless, Navarra's on SACD and Janigro on Westminster are more imaginative, soulful and beautifully played in my view.. One man's meat:)
