Honegger: Bach 6 Suites for Solo Cello: Spanish Telefunken 6.35345-1/3 (3LP box)

Box EX / LPs NM-

This handsome 3LP box set from Spanish Telefunken (6.35345-1/3, Spanish pressing, blue label, stereo, insert included) features Henri Honegger’s remarkable accounts of Bach's 6 Suites for Solo Cello recorded in Copenhagen in February 1959 (producer: Michel Bernstein / engineer: Peter Willemoës).

The sound of the cello has often been likened to the human voice and few have made it sing in these Suites as did Henri Honegger, a pupil of Pau Casals. He is not a reticent player, and his full-throated Bach playing, full of ardor yet wonderfully refined, is truly extraordinary – this is exalted Bach playing by any measure.

Included is the single full-size page with liner notes (in Spanish only).
