Is the sound of any instrument more profound than that of the cello in the hands of a master? (Well, maybe the viola da gamba.) Here is exquisite cello music from the 14th to the 21st centuries played by Charles Curtis, including four compositions of his own. "Unfinished Song" will make you a believer. John Simms

Firstly,it is wonderful that some of Connors' earlier pieces are being made available again and,hopefully,to a wider audience.
He has always stubbornly ploughed his own furrow with truly idiosyncratic results.
A bit like Derek Bailey,he seems to treat the guitar as a 'found object',discovering new approaches to its sound-making function.
I think these pieces are exquisite,but judge for yourself. I think Blind Willie McTell would have understood the impulses behind these pieces and I will look at Rothko's dark paintings with a fresh perspective.
