The Six Cello Suites

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Pau Casals

The Six Cello Suites are a set of six suites for unaccompanied cello by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed circa 1717–1723. Rooted in Baroque forms and dance movements, they employ rich polyphonic writing adapted for a single instrument and span a wide technical and expressive range, becoming foundational works in the solo cello repertoire and in the broader history of Baroque instrumental music.
