5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, original ideas for an ancient masterpiece
Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2024

His bow work is subtle, and he considers each note while revealing clear insights for each suite movement's emotional logic. His interpretations are different than those of Yo Yo Ma, Starker, Rudin, Tortellier, Hanani, and many other great celloists but also instructive and fun to hear.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not "definitive" but seductive
Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2004

I hate to quibble with "rubythroat" as I suspect she (?) knows more about music than I. However, the notion of a "definitive" version of any of Bach's works for solo instrument...keyboard, violin, cello or what have you...would seem to me the very definition of nonsense on stilts. My guess is that Bach himself never played his Goldberg Variations the same way twice and would have cringed at the notion of a "correct" interpretation.

She is quite correct, though, to love this recording of the cello suites. It's quite unlike any of the dozen or so that I own. Never flashy or melodramatic, it nonetheless seems to creep up on you and seduce rather than compel; like the speaker who whispers to quiet a noisey room. The music seems to enter as much through the navel as the ear. I would not recommend this as a first choice to someone who was not familiar with this music, but if you love these pieces and would like the experience of hearing them again "for the first time", try Dieltiens. I think you'll find yourself returning to him quite often.

5.0 out of 5 stars The definitive recording of the Bach Cello Suites
Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2001
This recording is the finest ever made of Bach's monumental cello suites. Diltiens is in his usual perfect form, playing with exquisite expression and flawless technique and intonation. His profound understanding of Bach's harmonic language and inherent grasp of the rhythmic styles in Baroque dances imbues his performance with undeniable vibrancy. This recording is true to Baroque performance practices-you won't hear any exagerrated romantic performance practices-(no sloppy sliding or warbling vibrato.) I cannot recommend it enough. Track 20 on disc 1 is breathtaking.

3.0 out of 5 stars Why?
Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2006
Dieltiens is promoted in the liner notes as an expert in the "period instrument" field. Well, he does play a period cello. The British critic Robert Layton used to say that once you get the tempo right, everything else seems to fall into place. The corollary of that is -- if you get the tempo wrong, everything falls apart. Listen to the sarabande movement (track 4) of the first disc. Pedestrian, plodding tempo, and the music disintegrates in Dieltiens' hands. The only real advantage of the "period" movement was the rehabilitation, by its better adherents, of swifter tempi for so-called "slow" movements -- such as the sarabande above. You might as well listen to Casals or Yo-Yo Ma. My recommendation is Heinrich Schiff.
