Awesome, gorgeous, exquisite, exhilirating...I don't have words. The technical prouesse is nothing short of astonishing: one has to try and imagine the sheer physical difficulty of handling the double bass, the physical effort invoved in playing this most awkward of instruments, its bulk, the weight of its strings, the inertia of the bow. Then there's the beauty of the double bass: the volume, the overtones, the basses, the harmonics. And then there's Meyer... Casals' recordings are a must, and unsurpassed on the cello. What Meyer does here is add another dimension, literally: using the bass' limitations, he makes them work for him, for the music, for us and for our enjoyment. This is art of the highest order, beautifully recorded and produced. Even if you have Casals' recordings, get these. They'll change the way you hear the Suites
