    Default HELP! Recommend me some decent Cello and Piano based classical music

    My interest has been piqued by listening to some of my friends CD's. I'd really like some suggestions for predominently heavily based cello and piano classical music. Apart from enjoying listening to these instruments I'd also like some reference pieces to see how both my valve and solid state system sound when playing these instruments.

    Schubert Arpeggione sonata is fab and often played on the cello

    This one is excellent ...



    Ouch - expensive, though - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mizuno-Yuki-...izuno+schubert

    It's on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/album/4kJiBYtM082tgtpJvRvpHD

    Cheaper on CD and just a bit legendary is this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/Rostropovich...ovich+schubert

    is a piano accompaniment a must have?

    Bach's solo cello suites are great! I like these ...

    “Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of fuel. Sentimental people call it inspiration, but what they really mean is fuel. I have always needed fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio”

    I've always fancied the Lynn Harrell / Vladimir Ashkenazy set of the Beethoven cello sonatas on Decca - any good?

    If piano isn't required I'm quite a fan of Vivaldi's cello concertos when performed more energetically by some of the less staid period instrument groups out there.
