This item not eligible for any further discount offers!
Steven Isserlis's multi-award-winning recording of the Bach Cello Suites represents a major milestone for a performer at the zenith of his career—described in The Independent as "the stuff of legend." Steven's eloquent booklet notes reveal his personal thoughts about the suites, as well as extensive academic research. His is an interpretation that has come from his passionate involvement in the music rather than from following the various theories that abound in Bach scholarship, and he discusses it fully in an article which is a perfect complement to this Gramophone Award-winning release.
This 3-LP set is pressed on 180g vinyl.
This is the most wonderful cello-playing, surely among the most consistently beautiful to have been heard in this demanding music, as well as the most musically alert and vivid ... few will fail to be charmed by Isserlis's sweetly singing tone, his perfectly voiced chords and superb control of articulation and dynamic ... a disc many will want to return to again and again.
