J.S. Bach - Suites for Cello Unaccompanied, Complete - Daniil Shafran, cello (Pure DSD)
Excellent performance and the sound quality. I am very satisfied by this album and strongly recommend.

mixed bag
To be honest, this is the first HDTT I've regretted buying. While some suites are recorded in good to very good quality (above all the first), others are not so much (for example number four). All of them are mic-ed very closely, which is nice when done the right way. However, in this case, this sometimes leads to a lot of mechanical noises. I'm also not always convinced by Shafran's interpretation and sometimes also have the impression that he does not always get the intonation right (my subjective impression, I could be wrong).

mixed quality
For me, there are significant quality differences between the suites here. Suite 1 sounds fine to me, other parts, like suite 4, have a significantly worse sound quality. Here and there I‘m also not too happy with the interpretation itself - other strings that make sounds where I wouldn‘t expect to hear them, or parts where I‘m not too happy with the intonation. Unfortunately, you can only listen to suite 1 before purchasing the album. This is the first time I‘ve regretted a purchase on HDTT.
Cello by Shafran
Rendition Is OK but for cello there Is only YO YO MA top of All.
Unique genius
This is my first experience of Shafran's interpretation. I am used to period enthusiasts and instruments. This musician belongs to all periods and of none. There is a kind of marriage to the instrument as well as the text. Time stands still while this man speaks. Every draw of the bow counts. Even the soul of Bach joins the crowd and listens.
