Karine Georgian - Bach: Cello Suites Nos. 1-6 & Viola da Gamba Sonatas (Arr. for Cello & Harpsichord) (2014)

This release brings you a well-filled 3-CD set for the price of two. The first two discs of this set feature a brand new recording of Bach’s Cello Suites with the well-loved Russian cellist Karine Georgian. Karine considers this some of the most moving music ever written.

She confesses that she has lived with the Suites and has played them in concert for many years and has always been in awe of their sublime beauty. It becomes evident from the very beginning of Suite no. 1 that Georgian brings to her playing a very special insight and deep understanding of these cello masterpieces.

Christopher Morley’s comprehensive booklet notes also contain a special interview of Karine in which she expresses her views on the style of playing of Bach’s music and specifically that of the Cello Suites.
