The 6 Suites for Solo Cello

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Antonio Janigro

The Six Suites for Solo Cello (BWV 1007–1012) are a set of six suites for unaccompanied cello by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed circa 1717–1723. Rooted in Baroque dance forms, the works employ contrapuntal and harmonic writing adapted to a single-line instrument, exploring a wide range of registers, technical demands and expressive possibilities, and they occupy a central place in Bach's instrumental output and in the solo string repertoire.
