For many of us, Pablo Casals's legendary interpretation of Bach's six cello suites--the 1930s recordings that showcased these works as far more than mere finger exercises for cellists--are still definitive. Casals rediscovered these previously appreciated compositions and did his damnedest to illustrate their importance. Hence, his bold, romantic interpretations, which may lack subtlety but certainly not substance or grace. With Naxos's new remastering from audio producer Ward Marston, this bargain-priced recording makes a vast improvement on EMI's more expensive version of these exact same recordings (and a subtle improvement over Pearl's even pricier remastering). Here, you can finally turn up the stereo and get the full sonic depth of these recordings without fatiguing your ears from a ton of surface noise. Instead, you simply get lost in Casals's flowing, passionate playing and impeccable tone. This has always been a landmark recording and it's never sounded better than this. --Jason Verlinde

Customer Review of Bach: Cello Suites Nos. 1-6
Noise Marrs Beautiful Music
The CD arrived a few hours ago and I've just began to listen to it so perhaps I'm speaking too soon. Ever since I started to listen to Bach's Cello Suites, I've always heard it played by Janos Starker on a CD I "borrowed" from my dad. I've also listened to Yo Yo Ma's rendition on his 2nd recording of it. The two recordings varie greatly but each possess its own unique beauty. When I bought the Pablo Casals version on Nexos, I was really excited to have my own copy of the recording that is supposedly "definitive". I poped it into my CD player and was appalled and disappointed by the quality of the recording! Maybe the muffled sound is just something I'm not use to. Maybe eventually I will discover that Casals' playing is incomparable, enough so to block out the loud background hissing. But right now, I'm considering selling this CD back on Amazon and sneaking away with my dad's Staker recording again (or better yet, shell out for the Rostropovich). If you are considering buying this CD, ask yourself one question. Why buy a recording because it's a historic establishment when there are recordings that have since far surpassed it? Bach's Cello Suites won't ever change, we might as well open our ears and listen as it's being played in our times (with clarity).

THE BEST
This is the greatest performance of the greatest pieces for cello ever written, by the greatest composer ever, played by the greatest cellist ever, and i'm definitely not the only one who believes this to be true. Pablo Casals was the first cellist to take these masterpieces by Bach truly seriously. Before Casals, these cello suites were nothing more than practice and study pieces. It took a cellist with the ability of Casals to elevate this music and expose it to the general public. These six cello suites are now considered to be some of the greatest pieces for solo instrument ever written. The sound of this particular recording is not great, considering it is from the thirties, however, Naxos does a better job with the remastering than any other recording company, and at a bargain price this 2-cd legendary recording is a must. After a minute the background noise is unnoticable because you are swept up by the marvelous playing. In either this Naxos incarnation or some other, this legendary recording is a MUST MUST MUST HAVE for any classical collection.

Casals : a cello giant
Bach is the most ancient of the future's musicians. This clever statement was pronounced once by Pau Casals.
And, to be true, these recordings are simply antological. No matter how many times you listen them. You`ll always feel the genius`playing.
It`s well known the time spent by Casals to achieve these suites. But the effort was widely worthy.
It seems an irony that Casals and Szerying have been the best performers of the cello suites and violin partitas and sonatas.
Casals loved these suites all his life, and he played very often.
Naxos made a superb transfer with these musical gems. Its sound is much more clear than the release before.
There`s a Laser disc (I ignore if the transfer to DVD has been made) from Japan with Casals playing the suite no. 1 in 1951. I expect all of you have the opportunity to experience to the maestro playing this piece. It`s outstanding.
Casals left us other unique musical treasures; the Archiduque, the String quintet`s Schubert op. 163 , his recordings from Prades (8 CD) in two sets, the Dvorak cello concerto and finally the cello sonatas from Ludwig van Beethoven with Rudolf Serkin.(I must confess I haven't heard the same suites with Horszowski, years before.)
But back to these suites, when you listen you are transported in just a click to a universe. This ability belongs just to musical genius, artists who are able to penetrate the score and go far beyond it, revealing the essence of the music.
It will be very difficult at least until now, to find another performer who reachs this height.
All the glorious adjectives you can imagine will never be enough to describe the level of these recordngs.
More than a must it's a commitment you have with yourself. Acquire this record and you'll know once more why Casals was not only the best cellist in any age, but the best gifted musician in all the century XX.
This statement would explain why Casals literally elevate the standard interpretations of all his partners. The histamina and enthusiasm generated by Casals was a efluvius who surrounded all the environment around him.
