Johann Sebastian Bach: Cellosuiten Bwv 1007-1012 La version sur 3CD en Norme édition. Cette édition particulière a été publiée en L'Europe dans la maison d'édition Brilliant Classics Le 22 octobre 2021.

Benedict Kloeckner is highly regarded as a representative of a new generation of cellists and is championed by masters such as Daniel Barenboim and Sir Simon Rattle. His discography includes a recording of Schumann's Cello Concerto, nominated for the Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik, and he also shows a keen interest in new music. He plays Francesco Rugeri's Italian cello (Cremona 1690), previously played by Maurice Gendron. In this three-disc set he explores the sacred highlights of the solo cello repertoire, and rightly points out that the lack of original manuscripts of the Six Suites makes them particularly open to individual interpretation. However, he goes one step further to make this recording his own by inserting miniature works for solo cello between each suite, commissioned by composers from six different continents under the banner of 'Sounds of Light', bringing Bach's Western European masterpieces into dialogue with music from around the world in our own time. Additional information: - Recorded in autumn 2020 at the SWR studios in Kaiserslautern, Germany - The booklet includes a note by musicologist Clemens Romijn on each suite, as well as the composer's own message and biography - Bach's iconic Suites for solo cello are the pinnacle of the entire cello repertoire, the ultimate challenge and Mount Everest that every young and aspiring cellist must climb, no matter how many times they have done so. - The six cello suites will be replaced by six works for solo cello written for the artist during the pandemic by Geoffrey Gordon, Éric Tanguy, Dai Fujikura, José Elizondo, Bongani Ndodana-Breen and Elena Kats-Chernin, creating a dialogue between the old and the new that spans three centuries and six continents - Benedict Kloeckner is a highly respected representative of a new generation of cellists.
