6 Suites for Cello Solo

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Pieter Wispelwey

Six Suites for Solo Cello is a set of six suites by German composer Johann Sebastian Bach, composed circa 1717–1723. Written in the Baroque idiom for unaccompanied cello, the works comprise stylised dance movements that explore the instrument's range, contrapuntal possibilities and expressive potential, and they occupy a foundational place in the cello repertoire and in Baroque chamber music history.
