Question: Best cello artist / cello group!?
I love the sound of cello, but I can only listen it at classic music concerts!.

I was just wondering if there is a cello group/artist that I can download his/her music!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
You should check out Eric Friedlander if you are looking for a fresh cellist with new ideas and inspiring performances!. I've added links to a great interiew with him and his personal website!.

If you want a great "mainstream" cellist, you'll have to look long and hard to find better than Jacqueline du Pre and Yoyo Ma!. Sadly, she passed away from MS in 1987, but her music lives on in recordings and some video!. Check out the Youtube link below!.

Yoyo Ma is alive and well!. Just do a search for him on iTunes or Amazon!. You'll find plenty of stuff to download!. Be sure to get the recordings he did with Edgar Meyer, a great double bassist!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

and for good composers for the cello, check out Villa Lobos, especially Bachianas Brasileiras #5 which you can listen to a little bit here:
Disc 2, tracks 5 and 6!.
