“For so eminent and famous a cellist, Piatigorsky's representation on disc has always been rather patchy. This makes this outstanding box set of six discs and a DVD so splendid a contribution and indeed, if I can anticipate my conclusion, so essential a purchase for his admirers. The most important features are, firstly, the live performances and second, the unpublished Columbia studio traversals. One is always prone to exaggeration, of course, given that very few people will have heard many, if any, of these performances which last around seven hours. But given that this is Piatigorsky, this is simply a bonanza for string lovers.

I have listened to every note of this box. It’s that good, or at the very least, interesting, provoking, exciting, unusual and unknown. The booklet notes are by a pupil of Piatigorsky, Terry King, whose biography of the cellist has recently been published. They’re full of wise words and interesting background and well reproduced photographs. The sound restoration is, almost overwhelmingly, by Lani Spahr and he has done a really first-class job throughout, as usual.

If you’ve read this far, you’re either a fan of the cellist or have too much time on your hands. I can’t speak for the latter category, but for the former, you know very well you must have this box”. - Jonathan Woolf (Music Web International)
