About the album

In September 2020 Florian Berner travelled to Tuscany. Playing in the local church, and initially just for himself, he recorded the first three of Bach’s six suites for solo cello. By early 2023 he completed the cycle in Köthen, where Bach was Capellmeister from 1717-1722. The two separate experiences captured performances of unique intuition and power.

Im September 2020 reiste Florian Berner in die Toskana. Er spielte in der örtlichen Kirche und nahm -zunächst nur für sich selbst - die ersten drei der sechs Suiten für Violoncello solo auf. Anfang 2023 vollendete er dann den Zyklus in Köthen, wo Bach von 1717-1722 als Hofkapellmeister tätig war. Entstanden sind zwei Aufnahmen von außerordentlicher Intuition und Gestaltungskraft.

Composer(s)

Johann Sebastian Bach

Johann Sebastian Bach was a German composer and musician of the Baroque period. He enriched established German styles through his skill in counterpoint, harmonic and motivic organisation, and the adaptation of rhythms, forms, and textures from abroad, particularly from Italy and France. Bach's compositions include the Brandenburg Concertos, the Goldberg Variations, the Mass in B minor, two Passions, and hundreds of cantatas. His music is revered for its technical command, artistic beauty, and intellectual depth.  Bach's abilities as an organist were highly respected during his lifetime, although he was not widely recognised as a great composer until a revival of interest in and performances of his music in the first half of the 19th century. He is now generally regarded as one of the greatest composers of all time.
