Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Aristocratic Bach! Comment: Yo Yo Ma has inscribed his name in the sacred Pantheon of the great cellists of the story with this impeccable work. Bach' s Suites for Cello are the maximum artistic peak into the literature for this instrument. And Yo Yo Ma climbed that glorious peak. Go for these treasured recordings. Customer Rating: Summary: Bach - Six Unaccompanied Cello Suites Comment: If you like cello and appreciate the master cellist Yo Yo Ma, you will love this set. If you expect full orchestration, this is not the CD for you. Best effect: listen on headphones, with a glass of good wine and the fireplace ablaze. Customer Rating: Summary: great playing heavy on reverb Comment: The mawkish dreamy blurred portraiture of Ma on the cover hints at this recording's musical weakness. Whole phrases emerge as a wash of sound, but what a heavenly sound! This is my favorite recording of the Bach cello suites; the elegance of Ma's ornamentation is unsurpassed. Customer Rating: Summary: Ă  condition d'aimer ... Comment: Il me semble toujours un peu p�rilleux de choisir la �meilleure� version d'un disque. Que signifie �meilleur� ? Lorsque l'on parle du meilleur disque, l'objectivit� et la subjectivit� se rencontrent. Le plus souvent, quand une personne dit que telle version est la �meilleure�, elle parle en r�alit� de sa version pr�f�r�e. Elle parle subjectivement, et non objectivement. Par ailleurs, les crit�res servant � �valuer si une performance est bonne ou mauvaise sont compil�s, mesur�s, r�fl�chis et donc choisis pour leur pertinence et leur capacit� � d�finir le jeu et l'interpr�tation. En d'autres mots, choisissez une version que vous AIMEZ, plut�t que de vous adonner � une recherche faussement intellectuelle. Cela dit, la version de Yo-Yo Ma pourrait, � mon humble avis, pleinement vous satisfaire ...� condition d'aimer! Customer Rating: Summary: ready for listen ? Comment: Ok! many versions are very good. I have Jaap ter Linden -HM- and Ralph Kirsbaum. virgin-. Yo yo ma seem to be quite in a right place in a good moment with these suites. Who is absolute best ? impossible to say. Just listen Yo yo and enjoy! More Reviews
Editorial Reviews: This is Yo-Yo Ma's first recording of Bach's Cello Suites, digitally recorded in 1983 and first issued on LP. He has since made a second recording of the Suites in 1998, taken from the soundtrack of a video series, so it's interesting that the earlier set remains available. If you've been lucky enough to hear Ma play this music in concert, you'll realize that neither set represents his Bach at its best. This rendition is generally quite straightforward, beautifully played and musically sound but sometimes not very emotional. The second set is more expressive but frequently seems self-conscious. Either of these recordings is a worthy representation of Bach's superb music, but neither attains the mature eloquence of Starker's final recording, a level Ma will probably reach himself in his third recording. --Leslie Gerber
