The album's artwork features photos by Sarah Moon, whose images inspired Sonia Wieder-Atherton to think of the creation of the world when she first desired to record the Bach suites.
Interpretation
For Sonia Wieder-Atherton, playing Bach's suites is like visualizing Giacometti's hands molding clay until a face appears, emphasizing the process of creation.
Interpretation
Sonia Wieder-Atherton describes her approach to the Bach suites as digging deeply into the string to give birth to the phrase and ensure it breathes correctly.
Recording & Production
The recording sessions for these suites began at night, after arriving at Noirlac Abbey as darkness covered the white stones and everything became silent.
Recording & Production
The recording of Bach's Cello Suites Nos. 1 & 2 took place in October 2018 at the Abbaye de Noirlac, specifically in the refectory of the monks.
