Reviews :
"What better time than during a period of self-isolation and social distancing could there be to explore Bach’s 'Suites For Unaccompanied Cello'? Arguably, there’s no finer recorded performances than the ones Janos Starker performed for Mercury Records April 15 and 17, 1963, September 7-8, 1965 and December 21-22, 1965. ... The finest version of these historic recordings, is without a doubt, this latest one from Analogue Productions and the sound is unassailable." Michael Fremer, AnalogPlanet.com, July 3, 2020.
"The original LP has now been reissued by Analogue Productions on 200gm vinyl, mastered at Sterling Sound by Ryan K. Smith and stamped at Quality Record Pressings. I compared my review copy of the AS release to my IS/IS original and found the two to be very, very close; if anything, I believe most listeners would prefer the AS reissue for its very slightly more rounded-off sound, which sacrifices nothing of the original's presence yet pulls the dry sound back an inch or two from the brink of brightness. Also, the reissue has a somewhat wider dynamic range: After matching its volume to the original during a quiet passage, forte passages on the reissue seemed to go louder than on the original. All around, a well-done reissue of a recording that deserves your love." Art Dudley, Stereophile, June 2020
