My mother is a graduated cellist from the Conservatory of Paris from Philip Muller's class and had the priviledge to take master clasess from great masters like Navarra and Tortelier. The love I have doesn't come from recordings but from what I hear when my mother plays and the character change of each student of hers whenever exposed to french traditions. Have a good one my friend :)
I've never met somebody with such a radical mentality as yours but your opinion belongs to you. In music there is not such thing as "best", we belong to an imperfect world where we all contribute in different ways. The french school is full of colours and and unlike what you said it creates an endless plethora of shapes. Rostropovich is a legend as well as my loved Du Pre, but so are Fournier, Tortelier, Navarra and Gendron. Learn how to observe good qualities rather than judging drastically.
Well the fixed and rigid French school has produce wonderful cello players like Ophelie Gaillard. So calm your nerves Max3851. And let's give the French brownie points from time to time
No instrument has ever touched me as yours... thank you forever!

Not comparable with Russian, though... with a possible exception of Gendron!
