The Cello Suites

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Alban Gerhardt

The Cello Suites are a set of six suites for unaccompanied cello by German composer Johann Sebastian Bach, composed circa 1717–1723. Rooted in the Baroque idiom, they employ dance-derived forms and implied polyphony to expand the expressive and technical possibilities of the solo cello, and occupy a central place in the instrument's repertoire and studies of Baroque performance practice.
