Full size album art
Label: harmonia mundi
Catalog: 901970/71
Format: CD

When Bach revels in the obligation to set out his harmony in melodic terms (in other words, to have the cello play successively each note of what would have been a single chord on the keyboard), the result is one of the supreme moments of chamber music; when Jean-Guihen Queyras revels in this 'irresistible vitality' on his Gioffredo Cappa cello of 1696, the result is one of his most inspired recordings! Bonus DVD: a complete filmed performance of the 'Third Suite' and a behind-the-scenes documentary on the making of this set. NTSC, all zones. Language: French; Subtitles: English & German. Total time: 33"09.
