Great new book on Casals/Bach Cello Suites

Hi folks-
I just finished reading the recently written book "The Cello Suites: J.S. Bach, Pablo Casals, and the Search for a Baroque Masterpiece" by Eric Siblin. I found it to be extremely interesting, given my love for these pieces and Casals, both as a musician and a world political activist figure. The book weaves back and forth, chapter to chapter, between the histories of J.S. Bach and Casals in a very effective and readable way.
Strongly recommended - check it out!
