Music reviews of Bach: Cello Suites
Music Review: Great recordings in good transfers: EMI and Opus Kura
Rating: 5 Stars
I have both this remastered EMI transfer and the Japanese Opus Kura CD set, so I do not think I am destroying anyone's business by my short comment. Neither I want to deprive anyone of the joy of listening to Casals' Bach in either transfer. If you already have a CD version and are happy with it, don't try to get its alternatives. My review is for those music lovers who don't have the Cello Suites BWV 1007-1012 on CD yet or are still looking for the optimal variant.
If you buy this remastered EMI, you get a better package, liner notes and a good sound with noise reduction. If you buy Opus Kura, you get an even better sound, but with more hiss. If you are afraid of hiss and like retouched transfers of vintage recordings, buy the EMI set. If you love Casals' timbre and want to get a more natural sound, Opus Kura is a variant for you.
I have this transfer (EMI 562611-2) and an earlier transfer of the G major Suite BWV 1007 on EMI 567008. Above it, I have Casals on LPs in a good condition. The Opus Kura offers the best and most trustworthy sound from all these variants. I have not heard the Naxos issue of Casals' Suites, but I have another vintage reissues on this label and can confirm that Naxos transfers usually provide exactly that effect Mr.Get Real described: the sound comes as from a remote distance, there is noise reduction and frequency filtering. Opus Kura does not apply to the latter and gives a more vivid and natural sound.
