Now here’s a splendid performance from Richard Tunnicliffe that is certainly worthy of very close scrutiny indeed
Mark Sealey - MusicWeb-International.com - 1 August 2012
[Tunnicliffe] illuminates these masterpieces with [a] kind of lightly worn elegance and refreshing sobriety…highly recommended.
Michael Jameson - International Record Review - June 2012
To this listener, the whole experience is also an adventurous one, exacerbated by the rhythmical jest and uplifting moments by Tunnicliffe’s skilled crafts and virtuosity" ****
Patrick Lam - AudiophileAudition.com - 14 July 2012
These are weighty interpretations with a broad harmonic sweep
Janet Banks - The Strad - June 2012
Tunnicliffe’s sound is generous and finely grained, the faster dances sharply pointed, the sarabandes dark pools of metreless beauty" *****
Anna Picard - The Independent on Sunday
For those who like their Bach honest and unrefined, this is probably the most appealing recording of these pieces
Caroline Gill - Gramophone magazine - May 2012
Performance **** Recording *****
These recordings have authority, character and a truly distinctive sound fabulously recorded by Linn.
Helen Wallace - BBC Music magazine - May 2012
Tunnicliffe should be appreciated for his artistry and given a thorough hearing. Linn’s sound is resonant and warm, and the cello is close-up and clear

A lovely double-CD set

Geohominid - SA.CD.net - 22 March 2012
His degree of interpretative intervention gauged beautifully
Stephen Pettitt - The Sunday Times - 25 March 2012
this new recording is a fine addition to the list of distinguished recordings of these Cello Suites.
