Cello Suite No. 5 in C Minor, BWV 1011

By 

Johann Sebastian Bach

Bach's Cello Suite No. 5 in C Minor, BWV 1011, is a part of his set of six solo cello suites composed around 1720. This suite is known for its technical demands and profound musical depth, characterized by intricate counterpoint, dance forms, and explorations of the cello's capabilities. The suite, like the others in the set, consists of a prelude followed by a series of dance movements, and it remains a cornerstone of the cello repertoire, celebrated for its artistic and technical challenges.

From the famous prélude with its “French Overture” and fugue, to the austere, modernistic Sarabande and the stately Gigue, the Fifth Suite is a tour de force of Bach’s compositional power— and Maisky is the perfect guide.
