This is NOT Feuermann playing. The recording is Piatigorsky on the cello. I have this recording and played it SO much when I was younger.

@mauibobwills According to the CD liner notes, this is Feuermann. This is the mono 1939 recording. The 1960 RCA recording with Piatigorsky is in considerably better stereo sound.

@thechillybeanie I believe this is from Dec. 21, 1939.

@paulostroff99 I meaned that both interpreters are on the same artistry; Rostropovich's interpretation(with Oistrach) I don't like ,but Oistrach's playing yes.

Feuermann here is above Rostropovich..

[paulostroff99]

This is a classic performance that will most likely never be equaled. TY musicianth for posting.
