Description
A double CD with the works known as cello suites in a congenial interpretation by the solo flautist of the Staatskapelle Dresden.
Johann Sebastian Bach's works, known today as cello suites, intone a polyphony that arises from the virtuosity of an instrumentalist.
The circumstances surrounding the emergence of BWV 1007–1012 are hardly known, which means that there is an uncertain source at the beginning. It makes an authentic interpretation of the musical text impossible from the outset, and the claim to loyalty to the text cannot be maintained: there is no autograph handwriting of the suites.
The renowned flautist Paul Meisen pointed out the surprisingly natural playability of the cello suites by the flute. His former master class student Sabine Kittel, now solo flautist at the Sachsische Staatskapelle Dresden, shows this potential here in a comprehensive way.
The double CD recorded in the Emmauskirche Dresden-Kaditz and the Jakobuskirche Freital-Pesterwitz is supplemented by the Partita in A minor BWV 1013.
