I am happy to release my recording of Bach’s first cello suite played on the double bass. This is one of the most demanding projects I’ve done, but also one of the most enjoyable ones which I’m delighted to share. This journey led me to learn from many wonderful musicians, to do a lot of research going through several manuscripts and find their meaning with the baroque bow.
