Johann Sebastian Bach:Cello Suites Nos. 1-6, BWV1007-1012

Artists

David Watkin (Cello)

Renowned cellist and interpreter of Baroque music David Watkin records the Cello Suites by J.S. Bach, rightly considered as the pinnacle of writing for solo cello. Juror of the Leipzig Bach Competition; former principal cellist of the Orchestre Revolutionnaire et Romantique & the English Baroque Soloists, as well as the cellist of the critically acclaimed Eroica Quartet, Watkin gives a captivating and truly individual account of the six suites, the result of decades of performing and studying these compelling and fascinating works. The six Suites are recorded on gut strings and on two original historic instruments of note, including the unique five-string cello by Brothers Amati, dating from c. 1600, and a four-string by a likely pupil of Amati, Francesco Rugeri, dating from c. 1670.

Played on:

** Cello by Francesco Rugeri, Cremona c. 1670 (Suites 1-5)**

** Cello by Antonio & Hieronymous Amati, (5-string), Cremona c. 1600 (Suite 6)**
