This Bach recording by Danish cellist Toke Møldrup does not just revisit Bach's Suites for Solo Cello: it remakes them. In the words of the booklet that accompanies the CD version, "our first task was to turn the score into three separate layers -- melody, chordal structure, and bass line -- and then fill in the gaps in each line, not unlike restoring an old building by peeling off the decorative layers and rebuilding the hidden structural material in order to ensure a solid foundation."
