How exciting! Internationally acclaimed Vito Paternoster is the first cellist to record the complete Bach sonatas and partitas for Solo Cello (originally for the violin), and here demonstrates the full scope of his considerable powers. Part of Bach's genius was being able to give harmonic self-sufficience and polyphony to solo instruments—a quality that suits Paternoster's devotional style of performance very well. A timeless, deeply resonant recording that will become a staple in your collection.
