Here is some excellent advice on phrasing and the use (and deliberate non-use) of vibrato. All are from Steven Isserlis (cellist):

Wow--I have a few things to say here:
1. What he was saying here lined up perfectly with what Harvey used to say about vibrato...with strikingly similar descriptors!!
2. I was totally unfamiliar with Steven Isserlis...I went to his website. I urge everyone to go to his website and read his blog posts.
3. What a delightfully normal down-to-earth gent he is!
4. Thanks for the post, Dave...good on its own merits, and allowed me to investigate a new-to-me artist with much to offer in both words and music!!
