Today on Leonard Lopate at Large: A very special in-studio performance of Bach’s cello suites from Amit Peled!

Israeli-American cellist Amit Peled’s latest album, “Bach Suites, Volume 1” is slated for release on February 1 on the CTM Classics imprint. Recorded on a Goffriller cello from the year 1733 formerly owned by legendary virtuoso Pablo Casals, the album features Bach’s first three suites.

The album marks the first time that Bach’s Suites have been recorded on the instrument since Casals’ own path-breaking venture in 1936.
