Title: Insulting and misleading
Review: Gerd Reinke is a well-established bassist, pedagogue and editor, but his interpretation of the Bach Suites are just insulting to the double bass. I don't understand why he decided to release an album filled with bad intonation, blocky phrasing, and just plain wrong notes. It's recordings like this that will keep the double bass from being respected by the rest of the musical community. Don't waste your time on these recordings, but instead find those by Edgar Meyer, Francois Rabbath, or Gary Karr for quality recordings of the Suites performed on bass.
