J.S.BACH: Cello Suites On The Cretan Lyra

“I have lived a long, 12-year journey exploring the freedom, the inspiration, the spontaneous improvisation, the truth and joy while studying and practising all the Cello Suites.

I trusted a strong instinct leading me in the right direction, drawn by the music and the beauty of the instrument.

The sound, the vibrations, the depth of the rich harmonics, the melodic lines, the chords and the timbres of the sound of the senses Cretan lyra revealed a divine beauty, exposed through J.S. Bach's work, bringing an ancient quality of sound and a precious silence of the Aegean Sea to my senses."
