What a wonder of a book. My cello bible. I long for many books like this — one third investigative journalism, one third history lesson and one third self-discovery. Eric Sibling sets out on a quest to understand the uniquely mysterious history of the Bach Cello Suites, which were discovered by the cellist Pau Casals when he was a child. Siblin goes so deep into the lives of Bach, Casals — and himself — and it will truly make you listen to these pieces in a whole new way.
