A delightfully quirky quest to uncover the three-century-old mystery and magic behind Johann Sebastian Bach's famous cello suites. Eric Siblin seamlessly weaves together the tale of how Bach's lost and mostly forgotten manuscript came to be discovered a century later by Pablo Casals, and finally became Siblin's personal passion.
