Marc Sabbah: Cello Suites (arr. for viola) - COMPACT DISCS

Marc Sabbah: Cello Suites (arr. for viola) - COMPACT DISCS

Title: Cello Suites (arr. for viola)
Artist: Marc Sabbah
Label: Prospero Classical
Product Type: COMPACT DISCS
UPC: 4262353970997
Genre: Classical Artists
Release Date: 2026-08-21
Number of Discs: 2

The six suites for solo cello by Johann Sebastian Bach (BWV 10071012) occupy a singular position within the instrumental canon. At once pedagogical, architectural, and profoundly spiritual, they explore the full polyphonic and rhetorical potential of a single melodic instrument. Their transmission history - preserved only in copies, without an autograph manuscript - already points to a degree of textual openness that has shaped their performance tradition for over two centuries. In this recording, violist Marc Sabbah approaches the cycle not as a transcription in the narrow sense, but as an idiomatic recontextualization. Performing the suites on the viola involves both subtle transpositions and carefully considered adjustments of voice-leading, guided by historical awareness and organological logic.
