Synopsis

Amazon.com
Most period cello or gamba renditions of the Bach suites are characterized by a softer, more veiled sonority and narrower dynamic range than afforded by the modern instrument. Suzuki, however, produces a penetrating yet curiously unattractive sound. The lower strings, for instance, have more buzz than body, while the cellist's forays into the treble clef (especially in the sixth suite) leave a rather vinegary residue. The playing is stylish and accurate, yet somewhat faceless in light of fierce competition in the catalog from period and standard instrument versions alike. --Jed Distler
