The first four letters of that orchestra's name are most unfortunate.

Unfortunate, but not necessarily inappropriate.

I had to google the work's name just to make to sure that you hadn't made it up.

And now listening to it as well, at one in the morning.

Cello/piano music by Fournier/Kempff  [As good as this one is, I will need to get a couple more recordings of this music soon, per some not-old GMG discussion.]

Hi, Octave. On modern instruments, I would recommend Du Pré/Barenboim & Bailey/Dinnerstein... Both of them are simply astonishing.  :)
