Ton Koopman - Complete Works 6: Harpsichord Works - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The six suites for solo cello are frequently considered to be Bach's greatest masterpieces and are a pinnacle of the Baroque cello repertory. This new album of Bach's complete Cello Suites has the unique feature of being performed using two different historic cellos, one of them being a rare five-string instrument from the 17th century which is used on Suite 6. Cellist William Skeen is one of the world's premiere Baroque cellists. He serves as Principal Cellist with Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra, Voices of Music, and was Principal Cellist of the American Bach Soloists for nearly two decades. Mr. Skeen taught baroque cello and viola da gamba at the University of Southern California for two decades. Mr. Skeen has received two GRAMMY® nominations for previous albums. He continues to perform regularly with major orchestras and Baroque groups around the world. This new of the Six Cello Suites was beautifully recorded by famed multi- GRAMMY®-winning engineer Leslie Ann Jones at Skywalker Sound in Marin County, California. It was mastered by RR's own multi-GRAMMY®-nominated engineer, Sean Royce Martin. The album was produced by the outstanding San Francisco-based Lolly Lewis, who in recent years has been particularly focused on period instrument performance and has produced six albums with the New Esterhazy Quartet.
