He launched into the G major with the most gentle and unassuming Prelude, immediately capturing the ear with the clarity of his line. Throughout, his playing was clean but never sterile, and his attention to nuance and rubato didn\u2019t disrupt the overall metre. The ritardando that brought the G major\u2019s Allemande to an end was exquisite, and the Courante was not too brisk.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Martins\u2019s C major Prelude was quite moving \u2013 on the fast side but beautiful in execution and timing. I loved his Courante \u2013 also quick, but flawlessly played and with remarkably clean articulation and graded dynamics. Solo Bach is intensely personal \u2013 to perform, to practise and to hear \u2013 and I rarely find it completely satisfying in concert. However, Martins\u2019s sense of style and unassuming approach, combined with his lithe, effortless ability on the cello, made this a deeply moving experience. I only wish he had played all six suites!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thestrad.com\/reviews\/concert-review-gabriel-martins-cello\/14564.article\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read the full review.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From The Strad Brazilian\u2013American cellist Gabriel Martins made his New York City mainstage debut at the 92Y in January with a performance of Bach\u2019s first three unaccompanied Cello Suites.
