In May 2014 the Hungarian cellist István Várdai performed three Bach Suites at an unusual venue in New York: not the storied glamour of Carnegie Hall or the hip 92st St Y, but the Board of Officers Room in the recently renovated Armory on Park Avenue, a room no less redolent of distinguished history: to which he made his own distinguished contribution according to the New York Times, with a recital which concluded with a ‘superb’ performance of the Sixth Suite.
Bach’s iconic solo suites form the pinnacle of the entire cello repertoire, the ultimate challenge and a Mount Everest every young and aspiring cellist has to climb, no matter how often that has already been done.
Young Hungarian cellist István Várdai is winner of the Geneva Competition, 3rd prize Tchaikovsky Competition 2007 and first prize winner of the prestigious ARD competition in 2014. He embarked on a successful international career, having played with Mikhael Pletnev, Adám Fischer, Zoltán Kocsis, and chamber music partner of Gidon Kremer, Mischa Maisky, Elisabeth Leonskaja, Andras Schiff, Klára Würtz and many others.

Are Bach's cello suites and Shakespeare's sonnets the highest point?

Exercise&Relax 07/08/2021
There are so many versions of these suites and everyone puts their own interpretation into it. I must say this one stands among the best. Looking forward to Kanneh-Mason taking on this epic piece someday!
Linda Cowles 29/08/2021
I love how each of these individual dances is in itself unique and inventive. I'm glad that there was a period in Bach's career in which he had the opportunity to write music like this as a diversion from writing for the church during his tenure in Cöthen under the Calvinist prince.

Wonderful, I love this music.

I will never understand mankind; our minds can create heavenly music like this but we are also capable of so much destruction and misery.
joncaju 06/09/2021
I have listened to many recordings over the years of Bach Cello Suites by different artists. This wonderful rendition by István Várdai is currently my favorite with his impeccable technique, beautiful sound and well-tempered style. What I appreciate most is how he let the sound of the cello and Bach's creation reign supreme and avoid making his own musicality or interpretation the dominant feature. Thank you for uploading this recording. I will be back here to listen to this superb performance many more times in the years to come.
Ernest Bravard 18/09/2021
Enfin un interprète qui nous fait entendre la profondeur tranquille de ces suites sans précipitation ni lourdeur ! Les phrases sont merveilleusement bien ponctuées avec juste ce qu'il faut d'emphase sur les notes finales. Merci.

I laughed when I heard a Hungarian give his recipe for an omelet: "First, steal an egg . . . "

The sarabande from the 6th suite is truly divine. All of the suites are masterpieces, but that 6th one is just on its own level
