J.S Bach for bass

[Granville]

I puchased a book+cd from amazon J.S Bach for bass by Josquin des pres.

These are the songs on the cd played on a bass only:

prelude#1 in c maj
suite #1 in g maj
suite #2 in d min
suite #2 in d minor [courrente]
suite #3 in c maj

partita #1 in b min
partita #2 in d min
partita #3 in E maj
sonata #1 in g minor
sonata #3 in c major

I know very little about classical music so are there compliations I can purchase these original works on? is the above a whole album of work per se?

Thanks

[Grueber]

You should be able to find all these at a CD store(although I've never been to a CD store in England), or on Itunes if you have it.

The E minor bourée is doable on a 4 string , both voices.

suite #1 in g maj is featured on the "Master and Commander" soundtrack. Great piece - took me about a month to learn.

Yes, I'm a noob.

Sweet. I have that book/Cd too. Im also going to try these!

For the Cello suites, seek out the Deutsche Grammafon recording with Pierre Fournier - more sublime than a sublime thing in a bag marked "sublime".
