Movie Reviews of Bach: The Cello Suites [DVD Video]
Movie Review: Who would want to watch this DVD?
Summary: 5 Stars
Answer: Anyone who wants to experience the music to its fullest. To begin with Maisky is a superb cellist. Just watching the ease with which he negotiates this complex music is a joy unto itself. Moreover, most people, myself included, do not always give full attention to the music. In particular, visual images are very powerful and can distract one's attention. This is the main reason that I chose Maisky's performance over Rostropovitch's. There is a trancendent power in Slava's playing but other reviewers have noted that his performance is "enhanced" with scenes and views of the chuch where it is performed and the artworks connected with it. The visual elements in Maisky's DVD are spartan but, aside from moving from long and short views of the cellist, that's all you get. Perhaps this approach is not for everyone but then Bach is also not for everyone. To me, Bach is almost always overwhelming so I welcome any DVD which encourages me to concentrate fully on the music.
I can't wait until someone comes out with a performance of the Sonatas and Partitas for Violin. That will add to my collection of music that you wouldn't think of watching on your TV screen.
