Its my first book about cello. I chose simple one with articles from worldwide known cellists. Very useful, inspiring and cello loving. I wanna quote here what Ruby Hughes said " The sound of the cello is closest to the human voice, at once so earthbound, expressive, humane, warmly bartioned and, in its high register's, so radiant" and that what typically I feeled about cello when I first heard a solo cello piece.
