I asked the members in the Cellist-By-Night Forum who their favorite cellist was. Among the responses were Jacqueline du Pre in the Elgar, Schumann, and Dvorak Concerti; Maurice Gendron in the Haydn Concerti; Leonard Rose in the Lalo and Rococo Variations; Lazlo Varga in the Saint-Saens Concerti; Janos Starker and Yo-Yo Ma and Steven Isserlis in anything.
One member, ACECELLO, added another cellist to the list, an "amateur cellist...who taught me how to do some really fun Norwegian lace work."
