¡Bach: Cello Suites
¡Daniil Shafran (cello)
Description
[Machine Translation] The complete unaccompanied cello suites of Bach by Daniil Shafran ( 1923-1997 ), one of the leading cellists of the Soviet Union. He is said to have been the first Soviet cellist to face Bach's music, but at first he did not appreciate the artistry of Bach's works. It was Pablo Casals' recording of the unaccompanied cello suites that changed his mind. He later performed and recorded the sonatas with Andrei Volkonsky on harpsichord, and finally in 1966 he performed the complete suite for solo cello in concert. He recorded these Suites for solo cello mainly in the first half of the 1970s, the peak of his performance career, in the style of repeated performances and recordings. This album fully demonstrates Shafran's ability to relate details naturally while shaping the work as a whole. This is the first CD release on the Melodia label.
