‘The Bach Suites are a monument to be studied, learned by heart, communed with, and made a part of one-self. At least, this is the way they sound when Casals plays them, and his interpretation is a classic in the best sense of the word.’ GRAMOPHONE
Almost 80 years after Pablo Casals finished recording the Cello Suites by Bach, and 70 years after the last ones were first published, these recordings remain absolutely iconic. They are now released again on vinyl in a luxury edition of 3 LPs in a wibalin box.
