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

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

Siblin weaves together three dramatic narratives: Bach's composition of the Cello Suites and the manuscript's subsequent disappearance in the eighteenth century; Pablo Casals' historic discovery and popularization of the music in Spain in the late-nineteenth century; and Siblin's own infatuation with the suites at the dawn of the twenty-first century.
