re Bach Six Solo Suites, BWV 1007 - 1012
Richard Hartshorne (db) Centaur CRC 2348 / 49 / 50

If you already love the Cello suites, and also like the more delicate and musky sound of the double bass, you will kill for this
set of the suites on Bass. After reading the review of this awesome set of disks by Robert Maxham in the review magazine
"Fanfare" of July/August 1998, (Volume: 21 , # 6), I ordered a copy.
Robert's review that made my flesh creep was spot on. This is a classic. The more you already know the suites and their
many renditions, the more you will appreciate Richard Hartshorne's labour of love and poetry. Every minute has fresh vision
that would make Bach sigh.

You may never get to hear this. Then you will be sharing another world to mine.
