		The indelible impression one goes away with after listening to this disc is Casals' beautiful, individual tone, and also, how much his playing had sadly deteriorated by his later years, though the music was always there.
		But he lived in a time when recording techniques were in their nascent stage, and the sound of these recordings, though scarcely unlistenable, was still not as good as the Bach suite recordings.

		They are brimming with youth though the project began when Casals was 60 years old.
		While other interpretations of BachÆs cello suites can seem rigid in some spots, Casals treats the score with the lightness and gravity of an autumn breeze: the extremes of the emotional range donÆt merely coexist; they depend on each other.
		These pieces may have been composed for an unaccompanied instrument, but what weÆre hearing is a dialogue across time: Bach speaks with Casals and Casals, through the violoncello, speaks with us.
