Bach: Cello Suites

"No longer do we have to look to period instrument players for stylistic awareness. In Mørk's case, correctness doesn't lead to a reserved manner: rather, the style of each piece releases a creative spirit allowing him to play freely and flexibly while keeping the structure clear. Mørk's chord playing is one of the most impressive aspects of his technique - in the Sixth Suite the chords in the Sarabande have a memorable expressive effect, while in the following Gavotte they give a beautiful lift to the rhythm. ...these are commanding performances, inspired by the composer's own unquenchable spirit."

"Truls Mørk's formidable technique is evident in fine recordings of Romantic cello repertoire. For Bach, he's admirably restrained - light transparent tone, minimal vibrato, and subdued dynamic range." BBC Music
