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

This book was a find - in the 2nd hand section of a bookstore we were making “just a quick stop� in. The book is divided into six “suites� and each suite (like the Bach) into Prelude, Sarabande, Gavotte, etc. The chapters thread several narratives through the suites - about the music, about Bach’s life, about Pablo Casals (who popularized the Suites - they were unknown to concert goers for 300 years), and about how Siblin got interested and tracked down the information for the book. All in all, a fascinating story and an excellent read.
