Yo-Yo Ma - Bach: Unaccompanied Cello Suites

Bach: Unaccompanied Cello Suites

Bach is from the Baroque period in classical music. He is one of the greatest composers of all time. The six Bach Cello Suites Nos. 1-6, BWV 1007-1012 are from the early 1700s. They are some of my favorite classical works for cello. This album has all six cello suites with great cello playing by Yo-Yo Ma.
