Janos Starker recorded Bach's Cello Suites five times. The first, as featured here in 1965 for Mercury Living Presence is considered a triumph and his best. It is this release that set his reputation for technical perfection, sensitive phrasing and a supreme expressive intensity.

Starker offers an interpretation that balances expressive depth with structural clarity. A profoundly moving experience.
