Bach Js Cello Suites

Isserlis Stephen

Hyperion’s record of the month for May is a major milestone for\na performer at the zenith of his career—described recently in The\nIndependent as ‘the stuff of legend’. Steven Isserlis’s\naward-winning discography spans his diverse interests in repertoire\nand his musicological enthusiasm, as well as demonstrating his\nsupreme artistry and uniquely beautiful sound, and his first\nrecording of the complete Bach cello suites is an indelibly\nimportant addition to the set.

\n

Steven writes that ‘the Bach suites are works of such total\nperfection, such sublimity, that it is well-nigh impossible to feel\nready for them’. He has proved more than adequate to the task and\nthis release is a triumphant conclusion to an artistic\npilgrimage.

\n

Steven’s eloquent booklet notes reveal his personal thoughts\nabout the suites, as well as extensive academic research. His is an\ninterpretation that has come from his passionate involvement in the\nmusic rather than from following the various theories that abound\nin Bach scholarship, and he discusses it fully in an article which\nis a perfect complement to this wonderful release.
