SME от лица компании Sony Music Entertainment Public Domain Compositions. Cello Suite No. 2 in D Minor, BWV 1008: II. Bach Unaccompanied Cello Suites - Performed on Double Bass. 2 in D Minor, BWV 1008: III. Edgar Meyer performs the Bach Cello Suites on the bass, unaccompanied, and the result is revelatory. The thrill of the Bach melodies played on such a deep and soulful instrument leave the listener moved. There is a deeper and richer sound, the thicker strings and opportunity to cover more space on the neck provide a whole new stage for these magnificant works. Others reviewers have remarked on the sacrifices of technique to convert cello pieces to bass. Edgar Meyer is one of my favourite musicians - a superb double bass player. To hear him play these suites is extraordinary. Read more. In this recording Edgar Meyer performs the Cello Suites of Bach on a double bass, which is a less radical choice than some other transcriptions, but nonetheless an interesting one. The bass provides a deeper, more substantive sound than the cello, and in this case, a surprising nimbleness of touch. Meyer is the kind of virtuoso that makes one forget the difficulty and hear only the music. 2 in D Minor, BWV 1008: I. Bach: Unaccompanied Cello Suites Performed on Double Bass.
