WUPPERTAL, GERMANY — Mike Marshall has announced the release of Mike Marshall Mandocello Solo Bach, Cello Suite #5 in Cm BWV 1011, available for purchase from the artist on Bandcamp.
This is the fifth in the series of recordings aimed at performing the entire work of Bach's Cello Suites on mandocello, a continuing project started during the heart of the pandemic.
About the recording Marshall told us, "For this 5th Suite Bach asked that you tune the first (A) string down to G. But he wrote the music as if you were tuned C G D A. The notes just come out the way he wanted them. Scordatura is the Italian name for this. Didn't Monroe do this sometimes?"
