About

Bach’s Six Suites for Cello Solo are amazingly multifaceted iconic works that still dominate the repertoire of cellists. As is so often the case with Bach, the suites are also compositional teaching pieces; all six are subject to a constant change of keys, variations, rhythms, reversals, moods and timbres.

Now the Swiss cellist Maja Weber has taken on this musical universe. This is thanks to the encounter with an exceptional instrument: the Stradivari cello “Bonamy Dobrée-Suggia” 1717. The cellist Hancock played it, the English scholar and eponym Bonamy Dobrée owned it. This precious cello began its journey with ownership by the mysterious, divinely Portuguese Guilhermina Suggia (1885-1950), who fused technical perfection and soulful interpretation with her favourite cello and enchanted her audience with warm and deep tones.

After Suggia’s death the cello was sold and the proceeds went to fellows of the Royal Academy of Music.

The Stradivari cello “Bonamy Dobrée-Suggia” is now part of the collection of the Swiss Stradivari Foundation Habisreutinger. Maja Weber has played this beautiful instrument at countless international concerts for over 20 years. This new recording is presented as a 2-CD hardcover book with a lavishly compiled 40-page booklet in full colour.
