Philips Import, 2003

An excellent Ligeti compilation
This, the second collection of reissued Ligeti recordings in DG's 20/21 echo series, sensibly collects recordings of the two string quartets together with three other works. The first quartet is one of Ligeti's earliest major works. In a highly rhapsodic single ...

Matt Haimovitz, Bela Bartok, ...

Oxingale Records, 2005

Great playing plus a cover of Kashmir - how can you go wrong?
I'm a fan of Cello music and this is VERY well played and a really wide variety of stuff which is a good thing. I've got nothing against the standard catalog of music but it's good to get outside the box. PLUS it's got a rockin' all cello cover of Led Zepplin's ...

Odd Couple

OXINGALE RECORDS, 2008

delicious tone
Mr. Haimovitz and Burleson set a deliciously ominous tone with the pieces selected for this Cello/Piano duet. I find this music to be especially inspiring and fresh the way it is presented, especially the new Cantos for Slava a tribute to recently deceased master ...

20th Century Cello

Matt Haimovitz

Deutsche Grammophon/Special Im, 1996

great style
This recording really does justice to the spirit of these pieces. Haimovitz's use of a broad range of colors really makes the Kodaly speak, and the character changes in the Britten are effective. Unaccompanied cello works are usually difficult in all respects, but ...

J. S. Bach: 6 Suites for Cello Solo

Matt Haimovitz, Johann Sebastian Bach

Oxingale Records, 2001

Outstanding.
These CDs are a favorite of my classical collection. Haimovitz's tone is clear, warm, and beautifully recorded, and I found his interpretation to be very emotional and expressive but still energetic. He does some very adventurous things in his interpretation that may ...

The Rose Album

Matt Haimovitz, Sara Sant'Ambrogio, ...

Fine recording, both in performance and recording quality.
A fine recording of mostly standard cello pieces, done as a tribute to Mr. Haimovitz's teacher, the esteemed cellist, Leonard Rose, it does include modern 20th Century Works such as Robert Stern's Hazkarah or "In Memorium" commisioned by the Holocoast museum. Haimovitz ...
