Absolutely marvelous Peter D. Springberg This is a great book, especially when you listen, as I have, to the Cello Suites while reading the manuscript version. The author closely follows the format of the music, interlacing its history, stories of Bach and his descendants, Pablo Casals finding and repetitively playing the Cello Suites, and his own journey into the world of Bach.. "Five Stars" according to Amazon Customer. Very well written, informative and entertaining.. Olly Buxton said An enthusiastic and entertaining sermon from a fresh convert. A philosophy lecturer of mine once remarked that the recently converted make the most passionate fundamentalists. Eric Siblin, a professedly retired rock critic (I'm not sure how one "retires" from a pastime) makes a good example. Stumbling across a performance of Bach's Cello Suites some years ago, Siblin was captivated, converted, and has since leapt into th
Casals played them every day for twelve years before finally performing them in public. Siblin pursues the mysteries that continue to haunt this music more than 250 years after its composer's death: Why did Bach compose the suites for the cello, then considered a lowly instrument? What happened to the original manuscript? A seamless blend of biography and music history, The Cello Suites is a true-life journey of discovery, fueled by the power of these musical masterpieces..

Music critic Siblin parallels short, fluent biographies of composer Johann Sebastian Bach, whose six suites for solo cello were long disparaged as minor student exercises, and cello virtuoso Pablo Casals, whose landmark recording of the pieces catapulted them into the classical canon. He takes cello lessons, savors a rich variety of performances, including one on the marimbas, and embarks on a search for Bach's long-lost manuscript to discover clues to the enigmatic score. All rights reserved. Siblin intertwines his own story of trying to engage with the suites.
