i've also realized that i really don't like piano together with cello. and i don't like most concertos i've heard - there's just too much going on. though i've been enjoying Vivaldi's cello concertos, they're all strings and they sound exquisite!
If you're down with string quartets, I highly recommend The Takacs Quartet performing Bartok's 6 String Quartets. Absolutely one of my favorite classical recordings.
