Thanks for listening though. It's up to the player to make the piece sing! Although yes, the piece *could* do more in the way of lyrical melodies. GPO in this case certainly doesn't let the violoncello sing.

I'm referring in part to vibrato. But it's not just vibrato. Open strings just sustain their sound a lot (and they simply tend to sound awful), whereas you have much better control when you finger a string. Furthermore, non-vibrato in fingered strings can be achieved with the intruction 'senza vibrato', as you already know.
