Johann Sebastian BACH
Les six Suites pour violoncelle seul BWV 1007 à 1012.

Paul Tortelier (violoncelle).

PAUL TORTELIER: TESTAMENT TO BACH – THE COMPLETE CELLO SUITES In July 1990, the renowned cellist Paul Tortelier played the complete Bach Suites for the 40th anniversary of the Festival Pablo Casals of Prades. Filmed by Peter Ammann, this document is, in the words of the cellist’s son, Yan Pascal Tortelier, “unique in that it sums up my father’s whole life on the cello. On the eve of his death it tells us forever how the music of Bach was singing in his heart and soul – a musical testament.” Color, 156 min.
