Suites for Solo Cello

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Erkki Rautio

Suites for Solo Cello is a set of six suites for unaccompanied cello by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed around 1717–1723. Written in the Baroque idiom, they explore dance forms and the instrument's range through implied polyphony and technical demands, exemplifying Bach's contrapuntal writing and occupying a central place in the solo instrumental repertoire and in his body of instrumental work.
