Daniel Estrem : JS Bach on Solo Mandola Volume 2.
Colorful classical guitar.

This album consists of three of the Suites for Unaccompanied Cello by Johann Sebastian Bach performed on the mandola, which is tuned an octave higher than the cello and played with the fingers rather than a bow. Albert Schweitzer made the famous statement that Bach often appears to be writing for some theoretical "universal" instrument rather than a specific instrument.

Mystery surrounds the cello suites. Unlike J. S. Bach's solo violin works, no original manuscript has been found although copies exist. As a result, many interpretations of the cello suites have been made with no sole accepted version. The cello suites are thought to be written around 1720, about the same time as the solo violin Sonatas and Partitas. The original violin solos were found not in Bach's native Saxony, but in Petersburg, Russia some 90 years after his death. They were almost used as cheap secondhand wrapping paper in a butcher shop. Fortunately an astute customer decided to investigate the origin of the manuscript. It has been posited that perhaps the next customer didn't consider what was given to him as wrapping paper and used the original cellos suites as a fire-starter in his hearth.
