Book Reviews of The Adventures of a Cello

Book Review: A great Book, especially for Cellists
Summary: 5 Stars

A great Book, especially for Cellists

He tell us about a famous cello brand and the connections
with artists that owned the instrument.

Fascinating!

I admire Prietto performances, my favorites is Elgar, Schumman and Dvorak cello concertos. Katherine Dupree also, for Elgar, is a must have in your collection!

For my side, I feel honored that my Cello Fantasy op.10 (Eb Major) was cited on that book.

Also about the great job mr Prietto did, about his travels - doing first world audition of works, major aprt dedicated to him.

great history, made by a great artist.
