I haven't heard that album, but thanks for the recommendation - I'll check it out for sure. Just a side note: I don't usually care for bass type parts played on cello, whether that be in jazz, classical or whatever. I guess it's just the bassist in me, but I'd rather hear it played on a bass, and I'd even rather hear cello compositions at pitch on bass than a cellist if done well (e.g. Jeff Bradetich playing the Bach suites).
Anyway, back on topic I've ordered the strings along with the music for the Vanhal concerto. I'm crazy and have entered a concerto competition right when I'm switching to fifths (I'll have to have it ready for Jan 16), so with that plus my orchestra repertoire I certainly won't be short on practice material!
