I have heard many recordings of this work, from Rostropovich to Ma; and to my mind this old (I believe Westminster) recording is far and away the best. Janigro's passionate reading and the amazing clarity of the recording still stand as the benchmark for Bloch's gorgeous rhapsody.
marvelous playing! Lynn Harrell

Thank you for posting this wonderful old recording. He was my cello teacher and he is playing one of my favourite works.
