All the artists represented on this CD wish to express their feelings that Cello is advancing the quality of recording and playback equipment to a truly new level of realism. Through Cello's technology, musicians are able to communicate their message to the listener with far greater purity and emotional impact.
(P.S. I believe I really feel the bass since this special CD made in Karr's home in Canada.) |
