Nonesuch Records releases an album of Bach works recorded by cellist Yo-Yo Ma, mandolinist Chris Thile, and bassist Edgar Meyer. Bach Trios comprises works by J.S. Bach written for keyboard instruments, plus one sonata for viola da gamba. In 2011, Ma, Thile, and Meyer—along with Stuart Duncan—collaborated on The Goat Rodeo Sessions, which won two Grammy Awards. Yo-Yo Ma and Edgar Meyer’s first recording together was the 1996 album Appalachia Waltz; that album was followed by Appalachian Journey, in 2000. Meyer and Thile also began playing together nearly two decades ago, and have made two duo albums, 2008’s Edgar Meyer & Chris Thile and the Grammy– winning 2014 record Bass & Mandolin. The New York Times said of Yo-Yo Ma, who is considered one of today’s foremost interpreters of Bach, “Other cellists hear Bach’s suites the same as Mr. Ma, but few if any have the technical means to transfer their imaginings so precisely into sound.”
