Johann Sebastian Bach:
Gamba Sonata No. 3 in G minor, BWV 1029;
III. Allegro -
Pau Casals, cello;
Paul Baumgartner, piano
(1950)
---
Compared to his legendary recordings of the Bach Suites, Casals’ recording of the three Bach Sonatas, originally written for viola da gamba and harpsichord, has always been a lot less popular.
Recorded during the 1950 Bach Festival in Prades, which marked the beginning of the annual Casals Festivals, the sound of these early tape recordings is not particularly good, in addition to suffering from some pitch fluctuation.
But I feel that these performances are an important document of Casals’ unique style of playing, especially in Bach (whether one thinks it appropriate or not...)
(Btw, these are actual photos from the 1950 festival!)
