Re-release?

From the cover, this certainly looks like a re-release of the 1990 album. Ma also recorded the 6 suites again in 1998, aka the White album. I have both, and both are excellent as you might expect. I prefer the white album as the pieces are played in a more livley and dance-like manner.

Play some Bach

You've probably heard the prelude to Bach's Cello Suite #1 in G, whether you know the title or not; it's been in featured in many movies and advertisements. Suite #1 is absolutely gorgeous and full of emotion, and absolutely worth your time to listen to - and Yo-Yo Ma plays not just the first but all six suites wonderfully on this two-disc album. Turn it up loud or put on some headphones, and let yourself fly away on the sound of the strings as they carry you through a pure and rich soundscape that's elegantly simple yet so full of meaning as to move men to tears.

Just Beautiful

This CD brings two of my greatest musical loves together: Bach and the cello. The fact that the cello is unaccompanied, and played exquisitely by Yo Yo Ma, makes listening such pure joy. It satisfies on all levels.

Fantastic quality cello suites

This Cd with Bachs cello suites is the ultimate in cello music. Thoroughly recommended. Marc van Gerwen

GReat, great buy

I bought this CD because I like Bach, like yo-yoma. Before I got it thought it might be a little monotonous, unnacompanied cello can be. No way, what a great surprise, excellent buy, excellent sound, excellent works.
