"The Bach Suites are a monument to be studied, learned by heart, communed with, and made a part of one-self. At least, this is the way they sound when Casals plays them, and his interpretation is a classic in the best sense of the word." — Gramophone

Almost 80 years after Pablo Casals finished recording the Cello Suites by Bach, and 70 years after the last ones were first published, these recordings remain absolutely iconic. They are now released again on vinyl in a luxury edition of 3LPs in a wibalin box.

This album is astonishing. The pressing is dead quiet. I never heard one pop nor any crackling in the background. Wow, just wow.

And the sonics are very good. For something recorded in 1938 it's damn impressive. There is an underlying background sound (not the pressing) but it doesn't interfere with the texture and dynamics of the cello. And of course, the playing is very good. I listen to a fair amount of Bach and I found this very enjoyable. Highly recommended!


The real thing!

Pablo Casals was an amazing musician and it shows in this historic recording! Pressings are dead quiet and the sound is amazing for such an early recording. Highly recommended.
