The Cello Suites: J. S. Bach, Pablo Casals, and the Search for a Baroque Masterpiece by Eric Siblin

3.0

A keeper. I think that my dad will like this one.

Bach sounded like a character, sneaking girls into the Church loft, arguing with his employer and subsequently getting thrown into jail.

This book fleshes out the story behinds his Cello Suites and makes them so much more colorful and intriguing to listen to, especially when thinking about what stage Bach was at in his life as he wrote each one, and how this reflects the mood of each piece.
