Yes Zeff, it's a great recording and I still love it, but it's more the acoustics of that little church you're hearing than the tone of the cello itself. For CD it's still my reference recording, but Casals on vinyl really is more thuthfull because it lacks that kind of echo-effect which makes the Wispelwey 'sound' analogue. You just hear the cello and I didn't have time to find out where Casals recorded it, but the music just developes without having to add more atmosphere like Wispelwey does recording it in that church. (Perhaps the same church which is used by the Decca crew to play and re-record the Concertgebouworkest-recordings?) In short, on the old Casals you hear much more cello, in its violin- as well as in the bass-register while it never sounds screechy or 'woolen', which was to me a huge surprise for a 1936 recording.An explanation might be I chose to buy a warm cdp and you probably've got a more analytical one, not to mention my behemoths of Tannoys which by the way suit vinyl like handmade Armani.
