Earlier this week, world-renowned mandolinist, Grammy-nominated musician, and ArtistWorks bluegrass mandolin instructor, Mike Marshall, released his latest album, Mike Marshall Mandocello J.S. Bach Cello Suite No. 4, BWV 1010.
Mike Marshall is not only a virtuosic mandolinist but is well-known as a master of a variety of stringed instruments including the guitar, fiddle, and mandocello. Additionally, he is not only prolific in the bluegrass style, but is also well-versed in Brazilian choro music, jazz, and classical repertoire.
On September 12, 2023, Mike once again solidified his status as a master of the strings when he released his latest album performing the entirety of Johann Sebastian Bach’s Cello Suite No. 4 in Eb Major, BWV 1010 unaccompanied on the mandocello. A follow-up to his 2021 release, Mike Marshall Mandocello J.S. Bach Cello Suite No. 1, BWV 1007, and 2022 releases, Mike Marshall Mandocello J.S. Bach Cello Suite No. 2, BWV 1008 and Mike Marshall Mandocello J.S. Bach Cello Suite No. 3, BWV 1009, this new six-track album is the fourth cello suite of six from J.S. Bach that Mike has mastered and recorded for the world on mandocello.
