Bach Cello Suites
This long-awaited reading of the cellist’s ‘Bible’ found Isserlis delving behind each Suite to find its religious correlatives.
Hyperion CDA67541/2
Tavener The Protecting Veil
with LSO/Rozhdestvensky
This mystic Minimalist work, written for Isserlis in 1987, made him famous. His silvery timbre and re-creation of Tavener’s vision is unrivalled.
Virgin 363 2932
Schumann Cello Concerto and other works
with German Chamber Philharmonic/Eschenbach
His intuitive response to Schumann’s mercurial character pays dividends here in performances lit by an inimitable fluidity and a dizzying range of tone.

A tour de force of energy and narrative conviction, in which Isserlis ensures that every note and phrase have meaning.
