I've enjoyed the Francis Orval recording of the Bach Cello Suites (as well
as his published edition)! Both are available from www.reift.ch. An mp3
version of the album can be bought on Amazon.com. I've listened to a few
tracks of Jacek Muzyk's recording but am more convinced by Orval's
interpretati
I have seen movements from the suites on some low horn audition lists.
I do think if you are playing an audition for a full time playing job and
Bach is not on the list I would think twice about playing that as my solo.
It is always best to play something you sound great on but remember there
will
Richard Mackey won the 3rd position with The Cleveland Orchestsra playing
the Sarabande from the first suite, and Jesse McCormick won 2nd in the same
orchestra a few years back with one of the suites (can't remember which one,
though).
It must be a Cleveland thing, I suppose.

One bit of advice: NEVER use the Bach Cello Suites for an orchestra
audition if they ask for an "optional piece - your choice". Unless, or
course, the position is for a spot in the cello section.
Bad personal experience...

I understand correctly - the first pitch is C that's one octave below middle

The first suite begins with a G first line (bass clef). That note I
read as if it was written as G with two ledger l
Hey, list.
I have performed portions of the first suite in recital, I play from the
original Cello parts as opposed to the transposed version. Aside from being
true to Bach's intentions (pitch not instrument) Great on a personal level
ala low register breath control and such. I enjoyed it and it

I've actually performed the entire 5th suite. Took some chops and some

I too have performed the prelude to the 5th (a lot). I do the chords as
multiphonics in the opening part. Lots of fun & a nice challenge.
The original key is debatable. The original key @ A=440 is what I do too.
The original key at A=415 would make me transpose up a tritone. I would have

"Performed" I don't know, but I think there is some recording. As for
the sheet music, there is a version for horn in F (by W. Hoss I
think) which is transposed up one fourth in term of concert pitch.
