Abstract

Henrik Dam Thomsen's recording of Bach's Six Suites for Solo Cello is highly regarded for its historically accurate interpretations and exceptional sound quality. Thomsen's performances are described as intimate, vibrant, and creatively interpreted, making this recording a valuable addition for those interested in the Bach suites. While Thomsen's use of a modern cello and tuning may differ from period instrument performances, his renditions are praised for their ease and majesty. The text also discusses other cellists' performances of the suites, providing information on tempo variations and specific moments in the recordings. Additionally, the text includes an interview with harpsichordist John Walthausen, who discusses Filament's debut CD featuring the Trio Sonatas of Dieterich Buxtehude, highlighting the group's interest in Buxtehude's chamber music and the challenges and rewards of recording the CD.
