The comfort of Natalia‘s cello is an order of magnitude more wonderful She is an Alchemist of the cello

Strangely subdued from Richter, but Gutman gives it her all - as always! Saint-Saëns would have found the opening mvt too pedestrian, I'm quite sure. The chorale, I don't know, there's something missing... they went for something really ascetic and almost monochrome, but in my opinion it could have sounded so much more mystical and ecstatic! Proof that Saint-Saêns's music too only lives 'between the lines', just like Beethoven and Brahms.
