Bach - Cello Suite no. 4 in E-flat major BWV 1010 - Cocset | Netherlands Bach Society

Cello Suite no. 4 in E-flat major, performed by Bruno Cocset for All of Bach, is contemplative and philosophical, without the mood becoming truly elegiac. The Six Cello Suites follow a path from simplicity to increasing virtuosity. In the first three suites, the cellist could play a relatively high number of open strings, giving a high resonance and allowing the upper notes to sound freely. Here the sound is much darker.

Recorded for the project All of Bach on June 27th 2016 at the Royal Theatre Carré, Amsterdam. If you want to help us complete All of Bach, please subscribe to our channel http://bit.ly/2vhCeFB and consider donating http://bit.ly/2uZuMj5.
