Concerto 3: Suite complete per violoncello

"J. S. Bach's Six Suites for Solo Cello represent an unparalleled challenge, a musical mountain that remains an eternal source of inspiration. Although now considered an indispensable part of the cello repertoire, these masterworks were almost forgotten until the young Pablo Casals rediscovered them among old scores at a secondhand bookshop in Barcelona in 1890.

Captivated by the richness and complexity of these suites, Casals began to champion them, bringing them out of obscurity. Since then, they have become a mainstay of the solo cello repertoire, celebrated for their beauty, depth and considerable technical challenges". Lydia Shelley. Conversation, excerpts.
