BCW: Discography of the Suites for Solo Cello BWV 1007-1012

November 3, 2019

To complement the current discussion of J.S. Bach's Suites for Solo Cello BWV 1007-1012 on the Bach Mailing List (BML), I created a new discography of these important works on the BCW.

The discography has been compiled in recent years from various sources. The list of recordings of the Cello Suites split into several pages, a page for a decade. Since these works have been arranged/transcribed to other instruments, I have added discography pages of arrangements/transcription to each instrument type: flute/recorder, guitar/lute, keyboard, marimba, saxophone, viola, and violin. You can view the discography pages through the main page of BWV 1007-1012 on the BCW: https://www.bach-cantatas.com/NVD/BWV1007-1012.htm
This page includes, as usual, internal links to reviews & discussions, as well as external links to other pages about these works.

The list includes both recordings of complete sets (all 6 Cello Suites) and recordings of individual Cello Suites. Except of a few cases, recordings of individual movements are not included. All in all, over 150 albums with the Cello Suites are listed. As in other discographies on the BCW, each recording is listed only once. All the issues of each recording are presented together. If a performer has recorded the Cello Suites more than once, the info includes also the recording number.

I have also compiled all the discussions of the Cello Suites stored in my computer from 2001 onward. The discussions are arranged chronologically. If the recordings of the Cello Suites by a certain performer are discussed, they are compiled into a dedicated page. Links to the discussion pages can be found at the main page of the Cello Suites above, and at the discography pages.

Please also notice that for most albums there is a link at the cell of the album title. This link takes you to the page of the soloist, in which you can find other Bach recordings by this artist.

With such popular works as the Cello Suites, it seems unavoidable that I have missed some (or many) recordings of them. If you are aware of a recording of the Cello Suites not listed in these pages, or if you find an error or missing information, please inform me, either through the BML or to my personal e-mail address.
