Bach, J.S.: Cello Suites

Over the years, Bach s Cello Suites have become a monument to which all cellists pay homage. Though some of the greats waited until late in their careers to record them, (Casals, Rostropovich), others have recorded several versions (Yo-Yo Ma and Pieter Wispelwey two, Janos Starker three). Ophélie Gaillard is among the latter group. Her first recording earned international praise and a French Classical Music Award. Ten years later, she revisits Bach s masterworks performing on a cello made in 1737 by Matteo Goffriller, a contemporary of the composer.
