J.s. Bach: Suites No. ... - Dor Gidon Amran - Audio CD (Arrives in 50 days)

Bach’s Cello Suites are his only works for solo cello but are central to the repertoire and remain unequalled in their expressive musical depth. Dor Gidon Amran, the virtuoso mandolinist who has recorded his own unique arrangement of Paganini’s 24 Caprices on Dynamic (CDS8038), has now arranged Cello Suites Nos. 1–3 for the mandocello. This is a baritone instrument of the mandolin family, but much larger than a mandolin, whose strings are tuned exactly like those of the cello. Being played with a plectrum, the mandocello belongs to a very different sound world than the cello, offering a unique perspective on these great works.
