Music reviews of Johann Sebastian Bach: 6 Suites per Violoncello Solo Senza Basso

Music Review: Worth Every Cent - and Then Some!
Rating: 5 Stars

Johann Sebastian Bach (1685- - 1750): 6 Suites per violoncello solo senza basso. Performed by Pieter Wispelwey on a baroque cello by Barak Norman 1710 and, for Suite No. 6, on a violoncello piccolo (anonymous, 18th century). Recorded at the Church of Valkkoog in the Netherlands in January 1998. Released by Channel Classics as CCS 12298 (LC 4481) in 1998. Total playing time: 140'03".

This was my third recording of these suites, and I must say that I have thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it, especially as it is vastly different from the other two recordings of the same work which I know. Pablo Casals, in his 1930's classic recordings, plays superbly, but his style is, of course, "romantic", with plenty of vibrato and the performer "searching" for the right tone in the Preludes. - Anner Bylsma's second (1992) recording of these works on the "Servais", a Stradivari cello from the Smithsonian collection, is totally different again. Its main advantages, from my point of view, are the wonderful, resonant sound of the oversized instrument and the way in which Bylsma makes the dance rhythms plain. Pieter Wispelwey is, to my mind, more subtle and requires closer listening. A German critic, on the basis of whose review I bought these discs, claimed that the first three suites were played a little superficially, but that the second of the two CDs was so superb as to make it worthwhile buying both. I'm not sure I agree that the first three suites are "superficial", I would say rather that Wispelwey sees them as Bach's introduction to his exploration of the possibilities of cello, drawing out the melodies and rhythms and generally not sounding too different from other performers. But with the second CD it is really a matter of "Wow!" I don't really have the vocabulary to explain why, but Suites 4 through 6 are here absolutely riveting, and in Suite No. 6, here played on a violoncello piccolo with an extra string, Wispelwey soars to heights I would scarcely have believed possible. Of course, I am not a musician, just a listener, so definitely not an expert - but as a "music lover" I can only say that Wispelwey's recording was worth every cent and then some!
