About the album

After more than 30 CDs released through EMI, Teldec, and Deutsche Grammophon, Tabea Zimmermann's huge musical range is clearly evident. This is her first solo album, and her debut for Myrios Classics. Interwoven with three rarely heard suites by Max Reger, Zimmermann offers transcriptions of two Bach cello suites.

Johann Sebastian Bach

Johann Sebastian Bach was a German composer and musician of the Baroque period. He enriched established German styles through his skill in counterpoint, harmonic and motivic organisation, and the adaptation of rhythms, forms, and textures from abroad, particularly from Italy and France. Bach's compositions include the Brandenburg Concertos, the Goldberg Variations, the Mass in B minor, two Passions, and hundreds of cantatas. His music is revered for its technical command, artistic beauty, and intellectual depth.  Bach's abilities as an organist were highly respected during his lifetime, although he was not widely recognised as a great composer until a revival of interest in and performances of his music in the first half of the 19th century. He is now generally regarded as one of the greatest composers of all time.
