About this book

Eric Siblin's "The Cello Suites" is an intriguing fusion of mystery, music history, and biography. Three stories are interwoven throughout it: the creation of Bach's suites and their subsequent disappearance in the eighteenth century; Pablo Casals's discovery and popularization of the music in the late nineteenth century; and Siblin's obsession with the suites in the twenty-first century. The book takes readers on an epic voyage that reveals three centuries of politics, intrigue, and emotion, propelled by the force of these musical masterpieces.

Eric Siblin

Eric Siblin approaches music as a reporter, historian, and curious listener rather than as a conventional academic specialist. The Cello Suites began after a recital at Toronto’s Royal Conservatory introduced him to Bach’s six works for solo cello.
