Bach - Cello Suite no. 5 in C minor BWV 1011 - Suzuki | Netherlands Bach Society

Details

Description

Bach could make a cello throb like an organ, as shown in the Cello Suite no. 5 in C minor, performed by Hidemi Suzuki for All of Bach. It is the darkest of the set of Six Cello Suites. The Prelude arises from the depths like an organ prelude, culminating in what appears to be a fugue, however difficult it may be in practice to play a fugue on one cello.

Recorded for the project All of Bach on August 25th 2017 at KIT Royal Tropical Institute, Amsterdam. If you want to help us complete All of Bach, please subscribe to our channel http://bit.ly/2vhCeFB and consider donating http://bit.ly/2uZuMj5.
