Cello Suites

The complete Suites for Solo Cello by Bach, are recorded here by lutenist/theorbo player Hopkinson Smith. This double album does restorative justice to a complete edition that up to now was split into two albums, appearing separately between 1981 and 2013. It also offers the chance of surveying in full Bach’s six Suites for solo violoncello BWV 1007 to 1012 in the new, colorful light of their arrangement for lute and theorbo.
