An Adventurous Journey May 16, 2007
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
The moment of taking the box from its cover marks the beginning of an embarkation upon an adventurous journey into Gavriel Lipkind's world of Bach's Suites for Cello Solo. Opening the exquisite black leather(-like) box, with gold imprinted and braille text enriched, reveals 3 sections containing a map of the journey, the sacds, and the informational booklet describing his unorthodox interpretation in detail.
Lipkind's unsurprising, at least after hearing his Miniatures cd, technical prowess enables him to perfectly translate his interpretational ideas into music. His very personal style is an interesting mix of contemporary and authentical baroque performance practices, resulting in a distinctly pleasurable yet intriguing listening experience.
The recordings, as well as the design, will satisfy everyone from the casual listener to the most critical professional. A must have!
Music to treasure May 14, 2007
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
In the demanding field of Bach's music for cello solo this recording, I believe, is a unique gem. It offers pure intellectual and sensual pleasure on a number of levels. It is, to begin with, the product of an intense and profound study of Bach's musical and religious philosophy. It is also a revolutionary interpretation of Bach's music that is bound to shake the musical establishment. It is a personal expression of pure love for Bach's music - and it is catching. It is educational for those of us who will take the time to study the fascinating booklet. It is exquisite visual pleasure to look at Carolyn Steinbeck's amazingly beautiful design of the black-and-gold package, a gem in itself, and a tactile pleasure to hold the inner box with its intricate opening that offers aesthetic surprise and satisfaction when you take it out of the slipcase. Finally, and this of course is the primary level of aesthetic pleasure, it is music played with both absolute precision and great human warmth, which blend to grant us sublime pleasure. I have listened to Gavriel Lipkind's recording after Jacqueline Du Pre's and found it so much more moving. This is a unique gift for someone you love. Both as a first installment in an ambitious and promising series of recordings - Single Voice Polyphony - that Lipkind is planning, and as a recording in its own right, this is an item to treasure that should be in any music lover's collection. I should add that, in spite of what might seem, I am not at all an expert in the field, but just a lover of music, and of Bach in particular. What allows me such unauthorized conviction - and should, I hope, excuse my presumptiousness - is the powerful joy of listening to this recording.
Brilliant work! July 24, 2007

An outstanding work! A truly amazing performance of an impeccable technique and artistry and a unique interpretation of J.S.Bach's suites for violoncello solo. Not only is the music wonderful and special, but also the astonishing design of the CDs as well as the explanatory brochure (which is deeper and more serious than the usual CD booklet). Undoubtedly a must in every music lover's collection.

This is the most exciting traversal of these works I've ever heard. You will either love it or hate it, and I loved it. This is not a middle-of-the road bland reading.
