Steven Isserlis’s multi-award-winning recording of the Bach Cello Suites represents a major milestone for a performer at the zenith of his career—described in The Independent as ‘the stuff of legend’. Steven’s eloquent booklet notes reveal his personal thoughts about the suites, as well as extensive academic research. His is an interpretation that has come from his passionate involvement in the music rather than from following the various theories that abound in Bach scholarship, and he discusses it fully in an article which is a perfect complement to this Gramophone Award-winning release.
