Malov on the violoncello da spalla BWV 1012 | Netherlands Bach Society

“This instrument allowed me to approach as closely as possible what I see as Bach’s original intention.“ Cellist Sergey Malov talks about his violoncello da spalla, which he played on the recording of Cello Suite no. 6 in D major for All of Bach. Malov believes that the cello suited by Bach was written for the violoncello da spalla, instead of the baroque cello.
