As a violinist, I am very familiar with the name Pleyel, and it is a pleasure to discover that his compositions for cello and orchestra are as tuneful and entertaining to listen to as his violin duets and string quartets are to play.

Another contribution to the Hungarian cultural history is a double-disc album of Pleyel's complete cello concertos, which, according to the label on the cover, is only the opening piece of the maestro's complete string concertos.
