profound in every sense,
By SH_ (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bach: Six Suites for Solo Cello (Audio CD)
This is the CD you need to test your new hi fi. The sound of the period cello literally shakes the earth and his phrasing is so original it goes right through you. Generally slow in tempo, this is like the Johnny Cash of Bach Cello Suites, no 2 only to the more sophisticated Fournier, similar in mood to the great Casals but more affecting somehow - amazing.

Very beautiful and honest recording.
read the Gramophone (UK) review by L. Kemp, 1/2005: ... Phrases are often marked out with a generously free rubato which, while it can endanger forward momentum, also gives the music a refreshingly improvisatory feel..but this is Bach playing of elegance and delicacy - I love the way his double-stops can be like wispy brush- strokes. In fact, by the time I reached the end of it, I realised that this unassuming release (recorded as far back as 1997) offers one of the most attractive and satisfying `Baroque' recordings of these pieces yet made. |
