J Bach .S. / Imamura - Cello Suites [CD]

Genre: Classical Artists · Label: Naxos · Format: CD · Edition year: 2025 <p>Yasunori Imamura, whose recording of Bach's complete lute works has been described as a 'magnificent interpretation' (Naxos 8.573936-37), turns his attention to the Cello Suites. Imamura has chosen to perform these iconic suites on the theorbo, the most important plucked instrument in the lute family, with a range very similar to the cello. Certain technical elements, such as the playing of arpeggios are, in fact, easier on the theorbo whose unique timbres and resonances bring a new sonic quality to these much-loved works.</p> <div data-bt-autogen> <p><strong>Tracklist:</strong></p> <ol> <li>Cello Suite No. 1 in G major, BWV 1007~I.
