about

Since their rediscovery in the late 19th century by legendary cellist Pablo Casals, Johann Sebastian Bach’s Suites for Solo Cello have been celebrated as unquestioned masterpieces of the Baroque era …but never before has the complete cycle been recorded on mandolin. Now, INDIE Award winner Robin Bullock explores the boundless beauty and emotion of the Suites and their ethereal lightness when transposed from cello to mandolin, and the result is nothing short of magical: a feast of otherworldly music overheard from some mysterious, enchanted realm. This volume contains the first three Suites, performed on vintage Gibson mandolins from 1920, 1921 and 1909 respectively, and volume two will follow with Suites four through six.

“Mandolinist/Guitarist Robin Bullock has given us something extraordinary with his Suites for Mandolin, Volume One…he has produced something beautiful, a breakthrough re-interpretation of these important works, conceived and executed at a level of sublime virtuosity. This volume of the first three of the six Bach Cello Suites, played on the mandolin, is a wonder of aesthetic balance, passion, joy, artistic commitment and courage…a warmth and a conversational frankness that is filled, in turn, with humor, fire and pathos. Mr. Bullock threads his way through the Suites as if he is making them up in some cozy place in the wee hours of the morning and singing them to you, with love. In his hands, they are startling in their intimacy and I find myself deeply moved whenever I listen to his recording of them.” – Dr. Rob Tomaro, Classical Music Editor, Cashbox Magazine
