J. S. Bach's Six Suites for Solo Cello stand among the central works of Western music. There is scarcely another cycle that combines technical mastery, architectural clarity, and spiritual depth in comparable fashion. For centuries they were regarded as the gold standard for cellists – today they rank among the world's most celebrated solo repertoire. Violist Marc Sabbah now undertakes a shift in perspective with his recording: he transposes the six suites to the viola, opening up a new, surprisingly organic approach to this musical cosmos.
