Cellist Jonathan Manson plays the first three of Bach’s six cello suites, composed in the early 1720s.
Edinburgh-born cellist Jonathan Manson appears frequently as a principal and continuo player with leading early music groups including the Dunedin Consort. He plays the first three of Bach’s six cello suites, composed in the early 1720s while the composer worked at Cöthen. Among the earliest works for solo cello, they exploit the contrapuntal possibilities of the instrument in dazzling sets of dances, preceded by arpeggiated preludes.
