Reviews :
« As can be easily inferred from his career path, Enrico Mainardi was a cellist whose artistic viewpoint was a grafting of the German school of cello playing influenced by Neue Sachlichkeit to the musical background of his motherland Italy. He record-ed the monaural cycle for the Archiv label between April 1950 and October 1955. Mainardi's Bach is leisurely and contempla-tive. His playing meditates on the auspicious meaning of the work - it is a musical delta of courteous low notes, a magical prayer of an aged monk. This is a masterful performance, and its value is somewhat different from the performances of today. »-Analogphonic
