The Cello Suites: J.S. Bach, Pablo Casals, and the Search for a Baroque Masterpiece

Such a delightful book. Beautifully written. As I said before: if you are a lover of classical music then please read this. It becomes even more relevant and gripping if you are a lover of cello music.
I discovered the Bach Cello Suites about 20 years ago and I loved and admired them ever since. Never having been a great lover of Bach's music this was a big surprise. This book gives such a valuable insight into Bach's life, the background to each of the six suites, to Pablo Casals and his discovery of the suites early in the 20th century, and to Eric Siblin's own journey of discovery.
I highly recommend this book.

"I am at that stage where you start reading more and more slowly because you do not want the book to end. This is such a great book. If you are at all interested in classical music then go out, get the book and become hooked - just like I did!"
