Yo-Yo Ma - J.S. Bach: 6 Suites for Unaccompanied Cello - The 1983 Sessions

3LP picture disc edition

40th Anniversary Limited Edition of Ma's first-ever recording of the Bach Cello Suites

J.S. Bach's Suites for Unaccompanied Cello have been a touchstone and a source of inspiration for Yo-Yo Ma since he learned the first notes of Suite No. 1 at age 4. Here, Sony Classical presents the cellist's 1983 recording of the suites — his very first — released as a new, 3LP collector's edition.

Available worldwide on October 20 and for preorder now, J.S. Bach: 6 Suites for Unaccompanied Cello - The 1983 Sessions celebrates the 40th anniversary of the original recordings with three newly-pressed picture discs enclosed in a tri-fold jacket featuring exclusive, never-before-seen photos from the original recording session as well as an essay by its producer, Richard Einhorn.
