About

On the second CD of the series which presents Johann Sebastian Bach’s six cello suites Nos 2, 4 and 6 are recorded, due to the dramaturgy of the musical process, in the following sequence: No. 4 in E flat major – No. 2 in D minor – No. 6 in D major. The opening item, the Suite in E flat major with its festive character, strenuously complex and delicate musical material with regard to cello technique; followed by the shorter-winded, more philosophic Suite in D minor representing a sort of standstill and musing before the last Suite in D major, the most complex of the six suites concerning intricacy and size.

Awards and reviews

November 2014

Rohmann uses metal strings but a Baroque bow, with which she attains an authentically Baroque clarity and cleanness but without the lurking threat that too much pressure on the string inevitably brings...a project that should file Rohmann's two volumes...on the shelf under 'definitive'.
