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

5.0

I love the Bach Cello Suites. I was thrilled to see this book -- an entire book about a work of music? Siblin did a wonderful job integrating the history of Bach, Pablo Casals, and Siblin's own journey of discovery. I was familiar with Bach's history, but enjoyed learning more. I was not as familiar with Casals's story, so that was fascinating. I read much of the book with my copy of the Suites, trying to follow along, or listening to Rostopovich's recording.
