The 6 Cello Suites

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Antônio Meneses

The Six Cello Suites are a set of six suites for unaccompanied cello by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed c. 1717–1723 during his Köthen period. They exemplify Baroque solo instrumental writing, combining dance movements, implied polyphony and wide expressive and technical demands that place them at the centre of the cello repertoire and illustrate Bach's compositional development in that phase of his career.
First released: 25th October 2004
