Celebrating his 50th birthday, this recording of Bach's Complete Cello Suites is Pieter Wispelwey's third recording of the repertoire, but probably his most controversial!
Based on extensive research by Laurence Dreyfus and John Butt (from the Dunedin Consort), Pieter tuned his strings down to a pitch of 392 for this recording, and the resulting sound is a very rich, sonorous experience. His cello also has gut strings for this recording and is played with a short bow.
The suites are set out on disc in a chronological order, so you can listen for yourself to see if you can hear the difference in pitch and whether you prefer this recording over his others!
Beautifully packaged in a slim box set, the recording contains a double disc of the Bach Suites and also a bonus DVD where Pieter talks about the recording. Priced as a mid price double, this recording will be a must have for all fans of Bach.
