Genre: Classical
Format: SACD ISO

Anner Bylsma, a cellist with a long history of baroque cello activity, passed away on July 25. He was 85 years old. Bilsma was born in February 1934 in The Hague, the Netherlands, and was one of the leaders of the Dutch antique music movement, along with Gustav Leonhardt (harpsichord) and France Brugghen (flute and recorder). In honor of Mr. Bilsma’s achievements, we are releasing his representative masterpiece of Bach on SACD hybrid. This is Bilsma’s second recording of Bach’s “Suite for Unaccompanied Cello” in its entirety. In 1979, Birsma recorded the complete works on baroque cello (SEON label), which was highly acclaimed worldwide, and in this new recording made in 1992, he uses a Stradivari called “Servais” made in 1701, the so-called “modern cello,” to present a new approach to this infinite This new recording, made in 1992, uses a Stradivari cello called the “Servais” (1701), or “modern cello,” to shed new light on this “cello bible” with its infinite possibilities. This is a bold challenge by Bylsma, who is always in pursuit of new possibilities.
