Bach - Prelude from Cello Suite no. 1 BWV 1007 | Netherlands Bach Society
For the complete Cello Suite no. 1 in G major BWV 1007 go to:
The six cello suites, of which Lucia Swarts plays the prelude of the first here for All of Bach, have been handed down in a beautiful manuscript by Bach’s wife Anna Magdalena, which raises many questions. Bach’s first cello suite became his most famous one. The cellist begins the well-known, comforting prelude in a gentle, radiant G major. The first bars are dominated by the single G, D and A strings, resulting in great resonance.
This recording was made in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. It is the most famous Dutch national museum dedicated to arts and history. The room in which this recording was made, was chosen according to paintings that fitted with the Cello Suite in G major.
Recorded on June 30th 2014 at the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. If you want to help us complete All of Bach, please subscribe to our channel or consider donating
