One last review to finish catching up with additions to my collection of Bach's Cello Suites: I have just added the review for Anastasia Kobekina's performance (2025, SONY Classical) to my comparison for the Cello Suite No.4 in E♭ major, BWV 1010. I'm all excited about this recording — it is simply fabulous! You find the full review (now 25 artists / 28 recordings) at
