Recommendations for Cello Suites?
Does anyone has any favorite Bach Cello Suite 1 and 5 prelude Guitar performances to reccomend? Was playing around with the apple classical but it doesn't come with the editor's pick for guitar. Thanks!

I would recommend Andreas von Wangenheim, I have always admired his recording of the suites, including the preludes you mention. You can find him on Apple Music.

I love listening to John Feeley play Bach. He is Ireland’s foremost classical guitarist, and recently published his arrangements for Cello Suites BWV 1007-1012, which are fantastic. He has performances on YouTube but none on Apple Music that I can see.

Hi Don,
David Jaggs recently recorded the entire BWV1007 Suite arranged by Manuel Barrueco. While I prefer arrangements that do not add many notes beyond the original, Barrueco's arrangment is quite interesting and lovely. See David Jaggs YT channel.
