This fantastic book contains three complete suites from Opus numbers 72, 80, and 87. Each suite has background information written by Benjamin Britten for a more authentic performance.
Benjamin Britten’s solo Cello Suites, composed between 1964 and 1971, were written for and dedicated to Rostropovich. Inspired by Rostropovich’s recording of the solo Bach Suites, Britten’s were influenced a good deal by Russian themes — evident particularly in the third suite. This edition is arranged by Rostropovich, and published by Faber Music.
