Johann Sebastian Bach: Cellosuiten BWV 1007-1012 on 2 CDs

Product Information:

Bach's six suites for solo violoncello are among the most celebrated works for their instrument; we might, in fact, liken them to the composer's Well-Tempered Clavier, which serves as a similar 'Bible' for pianists. Not every cellist is equal to the task of recording these works, and not every cellist who does so is successful. Jiri Barta, an exclusive artist with the Supraphon label, has not only risen to the challenge most admirably but has also earned the enthusiasm of critics and, primarily, the interest of the musical public in general.

To mark Bach's anniversary year Supraphon has prepared - under a new order number - this double CD release of all six Bach cello suites in one attractive, newly designed package.
