.: Tracklist :
Johann Sebastian Bach composed his Six Suites for Solo Cello in the early 1720's. Unlike the Six Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin, composed around the same time, there is no extant autograph manuscript. Only four copies exist, of which one made by Anna Magdelena Bach is the standard performing edition. Bach's wife was somewhat careless when transcribing the articulation marks that Bach had indicated quite precisely in his music of the time. That, in combination with conflicting details in the other three copies, creates room for speculation as to dynamics, slurs, tempo and vibrato. Performers can exercise substantial freedom in performing these Suites. The choices made substantially color the nature of the performance. In Rostropovich's DVD performances on EMI, he elects to perform a more liquid and emotive Bach with a dash of vibrato along with an expressive portamento. His performance is splendid but harkens back to an older, more Romantic style of Bach.
Maisky has acknowledged the period instruments style of Bach in these performances. His playing is slightly more reserved, somewhat analytical, very broad and powerful with a rich and deeply resonant string sound. I was immediately enamored with his sound, which is helped immeasurably by this recording made in a fresco decorated stone room in a Palladian Villa. The sound is reverberant and well-focussed. Because of the venue, vibrato seems less necessary, so Maisky can easily adopt what one may consider a more "authentic" performing practice. He uses less vibrato but Bach's long, singing lines don't suffer in the stone room's limpid and bell-like acoustics. This is a slightly more refined and Classical performance than Rostropovich. Having both of them seems ideal in order to truly appreciate Bach's masterful Suites. Maisky provides an Apollonian view of these pieces, playing with insight and splendid technique. In combination with an excellent recording which is especially resonant when played in the DTS 5.1 format, this region code 0 (worldwide) two disc set lasting 162 minutes is terrific Bach and well worth the investment.
