JS Bach: Suites for Solo Cello Nos. 1 & 2 [Starker]





I have always particularly liked Starker's interpretation of the Bach Cello Suites.

Hi Fergus,

I haven't heard his RCA recordings of the Bach, but I do have--and greatly enjoy--his recordings of them on Mercury.  Are you familiar with those recordings and, if so, any thoughts on differences?

Best wishes,

PD

A rerun inspired by the revival of the Albinoni thread:



Gorgeous, spirited and idiomatic performances by this Italian ensemble, currently better known under the name  "Bozen Baroque Orchestra". And if the performances themselves weren't luxurious enough, this is in beautiful state-of-art recording quality. Recommended.

The Fitzwilliam Virginal Book, Volume VII.
CD III.

Works by: William Byrd and Anonymous.

Pieter Jan Belder plays on a Titus Crijnen harpsichord, 2014 after Ruckers, and a Muselar, made by Theo de Haas, after Ruckers.

An absolute highlight of this set. the Harpsichord by Titus Crijnen sounds sublime, as does the Muselar. Recording is first rate. Another eclatant success in this series.

Boy Harry - must have lost tract of these releases; own just the first 3 Belder sets - did not realize that the 'virginal book' contained that MUCH music!  Dave
