Bach: Unaccompanied Cello Suites Performed on Double Bass is a contemporary classical album released by the double bass virtuoso Edgar Meyer. Throughout the album, Meyer plays 3 of JS Bach's famous Cello Suites. A unique aspect to this album is the fact that Edgar Meyer is performing these cello suites on a double bass, rather than a cello, which make the suites extremely difficult to play.
