Bach Cello Suites are staples of the cellist, guitarist, double bassist, violist, and bassoonist solo repertoire. The music captures an incredible introspective quality and to hear them performed as an entire set is always an enlightening experience. J. S. Bach's oeuvre is truly remarkable as a synthesis of the Baroque idiom. As we designed this visual to accompany my listening experience, we explored the performances of Casals--the earliest proponent of these as complete works rather than technical etudes--, Fournier, Starker, Wispelwey, and Isserlis. We also delved into the double bass recordings by Edgar Meyer and the guitar transcriptions. Each performance is unique and true artistry essential.
