Harvey Wolfe (retired cellist, Cleveland Symphony)
Although not an international touring artist, he can certainly keep up with the best of the best. I've seen him perform several times locally with his group.

I think there are two cellist in the group Electric Light Orchestra that I
like. It does seem a little odd that cellist would show up in a rock n roll
band but these guys were extraordinary.

I myself have not decided yet each and every single one of these cellists have good reasons why they should be the one.

Favorite and best are very different categories. Sometimes they might overlap, but not necessarily. So I'll only respond to the first: Jeffrey Krieger.

Though most important would have to be Charlotte Moorman, of course!
