To record Bach's 'Six Suites' was Emmanuelle Bertrand's most cherished dream; it has now become reality thanks to her encounter with an exceptional instrument. Built by Carlo Tononi in Venice in 1730, this cello - with its deep and generous sound, set up in 'Baroque' style (with gut strings and bow to match) - has proved to be the most faithful of partners for tackling one of the most impressive monuments in all western music.
