Cellist Inbal Megiddo has released her complete recording of J.S. Bach’s Six Cello Suites on Atoll Records.

The core of the project is the profound personal connection Megiddo has forged with the works over time. She writes that, "like life itself, the Suites reveal new facets with each return, changing as we change, growing as we go. In this way, they become not just music to perform but companions on life’s path.”

She notes that through “carefully crafted arpeggios, strategic placement of notes, and clever voice-leading, Bach creates the illusion that the listener is hearing multiple instruments.”

 

 

 

Cellist Inbal Megiddo studied with Aldo Parisot at Yale University, where she earned her graduate and undergraduate degrees. She was also mentored by Mstislav Rostropovich. She is a founding member of the Te Kōki Trio and previously served as principal cellist of the West Eastern Divan Symphony Orchestra under Daniel Barenboim.

Beyond her work with Bach, Megiddo is committed to promoting and performing the music of underpresented composers, and has two recordings planned for 2026 on the Atoll label: an album of works by Clara Schumann and an album of "Forbidden Composers" who were silenced by the Nazis.
