Bach - Cello Suite no. 3 in C major BWV 1009 - 6 young cello talents | Netherlands Bach Society

After the dark Cello Suite no. 2, this Cello Suite no. 3 in C major is a continuation of the good-humoured tone of no. 1, although its mood is one of even cockier self-assurance. Cellist Colin Carr sees the six suites as “Bach’s children at various stages of life”. Could no. 3 symbolise an overconfident student? In style with the character of the Suite and as part of the talent development projects of the Netherlands Bach Society, for this recording we worked with cellists and baroque cellists of the future. Six very talented Dutch youngsters under the age of eighteen were selected from auditions. Each cellist rehearsed their own movement from Suite No. 3, which they then recorded for All of Bach. Recorded for the project All of Bach on 23 April 2022 at Haarlem Baptist Church.
