ClassicalRecords is a Youtube channel where I upload some excellent performances from the LPs in my collection. I'm uploading these LPs because they are either not available on CD, out of print on CD, or just difficult to find.

I just played these. These are amazingly beautiful works of a significant minor master. I knew a 20-year Tower Classical employee who considered the solo violoncello sonata one of the great Twentieth Century chamber works ; I consider it the third greatest work in the solo violoncello literature after the “ Trilogia ” of Count Giacinto Scelsi and then “ Time and Motion Study III ” of Brian Ferneyhough.
