The six Cello Suites, BWV 1007-1012, are suites for unaccompanied cello by Johann Sebastian Bach. They are some of the most frequently performed and recognizable solo compositions ever written for cello. Bach most likely composed them during the period 1717-23, when he served as Kapellmeister in Köthen. The title given on the cover of the Anna Magdalena Bach manuscript was Suites à Violoncello Solo senza Basso (Suites for cello solo without bass).
These suites for unaccompanied cello are remarkable in that they achieve the effect of implied three- to four-voice contrapuntal and polyphonic music in a single musical line. [1] As usual in a Baroque musical suite, after the prelude which begins each suite, all the other movements are based around baroque dance types;[2] the cello suites are structured in six movements each: prelude, allemande, courante, sarabande, two minuets or two bourrées or two gavottes, and a final gigue.[3] The Bach cello suites are considered to be among the most profound of all classical music works.[4][5][6] Wilfrid Mellers described them in 1980 as "Monophonic music wherein a man has created a dance of God."[
I like how you don't rush. It's more beautiful. So many very famous cellists play the first suite super fast; maybe to just show off. But your interpretation is amongst the best in my opinion. I always prefer these pieces played on a baroque cello in the style of the time too.
This work is one of the greatest exponents of Bach's genius, only the great executors can invest themselves with his personality for a correct interpretation, and thus transmit us the feeling of the musician, it is necessary to move to an era, a style, and his soul full of religiosity. without doubt one of the greatest musicians in the history of man.
I have heard so many versions of suite #1. This is my favorite. I hope that Eva Lymenstull will perform and record all six under similar settings. This is going to be the new classic.
I thought you were sitting on thin air for a moment! This was a nice interpretation in Baroque style. I was not expecting you to repeat the sections in the Minuet I after you had played the Minuet II.
this is what I'm telling students.. with a certain dispassionate neutrality, a technique of weights and holding to the tempo you are fully expressive in this period - no need to romanticize (except in your heart & mind)
Exquisite playing. I especially like your judicious placement of the mordents and trills in the various movements: Extremely well done. Have you made any recordings yet?
je trouve son jeu trop féminin, trop lisse, trop mélodieux; toujours est-il qu'elle sait tirer de son instrument un son délicieux, et qu'elle est, en tout cas, merveilleusement agréable à écouter; il faut accepter ce qui est beau quand ça se présente, sans s'attarder sur des réserves de forme
Par ailleurs , au sens acoustique ,pourquoi ce violoncelle manque-t-il autant de volume ? est du à 'instrument ? est-ce-du à l'archet baroque , ou encore à l'étouffement du son par les jambes de l'artiste , ou à la salle d'enregistrement ?
Auch wenn man nach Tanzsätzen dieser Instrumentalwerke offensichtlich nicht mehr getanzt hat und diese Tanzsätze dementsprechend als stilisierte Tänze bezeichnet werden, kann ich mir schwer vorstellen dass es im Sinne des Komponisten ist, dass man aufgrund der immer wieder verzogenen Metrik gar nicht mehr erkennen kann, dass es sich außer beim Präludium um Tanzsätze handelt. Modernes Tanztheater hat wohl schwerlich als Vorbild für den Komponisten gedient...

Underrated comment
At first I was like, OMG! She doesn't need a cello peg or a chair! Wonderful performance!
"At first I was like"...? Please. How about "At first I thought?"
Its a baroque cello, they dont have endpins, and you can see her chair behind her legs
Totally, like, whoah.
@@jeffbowell7683 Jeff, you seem to have misused the question mark.
@@jeffbowell7683 Grammar nazi! I love it.
so beautifully performed . by far my most favourite version i have heard . i wish Eva would release it as a record.
Agreed, and she played it totally from memory. Outstanding 👍

Such a beautiful performance, a truly elegant, calm, focused presentation. Bravo!
my favorite suite, and my first moviment is very beautiful. Very peace in my heart. Bach and Cello....
Its wonderful. You create the right feeling
Really a wonderful performance! Thank you for sharing! I like it when classical music is played on period instruments.
I have heard so many versions of suite #1. This is my favorite. I hope that Eva Lymenstull will perform and record all six under similar settings. This is going to be the new classic.
And yet, another angelic musical presence. Thank you Eva for sharing your rapture.
Really nice performance. Crisp and clean as Bach should be!
Nah.. she lacks sweetness.. it's way too rushed..too squeaky
@@italiantraditionalcatholic2390 Rushed?? Certainly not.
i love how beautifully and gracefully you play.
This vid should have more people
Una versión clarísima de como debe tocarse esta suite,muchas gracias por compartirla!
I am learning the cello, and you are an inspiration! You play so amazingly! Keep it up
Brilliant performance!!
Superbly played and thanks for sharing your wonderful music
I thought you were sitting on thin air for a moment! This was a nice interpretation in Baroque style. I was not expecting you to repeat the sections in the Minuet I after you had played the Minuet II.
bravissima. Davvero MOLTO bello!
im not crying, something went into my eye

Thinking baroque music is dispassionate in 2024 is crazy 💀
The flying cellist
Eva Gevorgyan the flying pianist, and Eva Rabchevska the flying violinist. Those three musicians should form an Eva Trio. 😂
Wonderful Eva!
Thank you, Fabio! Great to hear from you, I hope you're doing well!
All well, all well!
Beautiful!
Very beautiful! Thank you!
Ms Lymenstull, i loved your performance here...i am interested in how the music is created and to see you play the suite so calmly .thank you
Echt cool 👍👍👍
Wunderbar! You are now my reference to play it on the marimba 😉 Thank you
No vibrato, no end pin, no 440 hz. Just Baroque!
cello technique used in Baroque music didn't have vibrato?
@@datdang9113 from my knowledge, vibrato in baroque music was seen as an embellishment to be used sparingly, rather than how it’s used today
@@datdang9113 they do had vibrato, but they didn't use it much because they thought it would be too much expressive.
Anyone who tells you vibrato wasn't used in the Baroque period is taking an extreme position that most experts would avoid
@@classicalmusful i didnt know
Great!
Girl, you kick ass 🤙🏼🤙🏼
Yeah, just like that.
Hi cello buffs, does the absence of an end pin affect the tone, as the legs must absorb some of the vibration, is it a purer sound with the end pin?
Exquisite playing. I especially like your judicious placement of the mordents and trills in the various movements: Extremely well done. Have you made any recordings yet?

It sounds really good, although I'm hearing it in F# major rather than G major
Tuning in the baroque era was A = 415 hz compared to today’s A = 440 hz. The difference is almost exactly a semitone apart
Cuz baroque tuning

Absolutely zero sweetness
Opinion not fact
@@LaDivinaLover The rendition is a bit too cerebral; even bloodless.
That’s just your opinion. It’s magnificent.
C'est vous qui manquez totalement de jugement et de sensibilité
