I am adding an excerpt from the producer Harold Lawrence that I found on the internet:

The Six Suites for Unaccompanied 'Cello are among Bach's undisputed masterworks in any medium. And one of the great Bach interpreters is the 'cellist, Janos Starker. I had the privilege of producing all of Starker's Mercury recordings between 1962 and 1966. For me, the highlight of these five years was the complete recording of Bach's 'Cello Suites (Mercury Living Presence OL3-116/SR3-9016 [c1966]. Starker recorded Suites Two and Five in 1963, and One, Three, Four, and Six just before Christmas, 1965. All were recorded in New York City at Fine Recording in the Great Northern Hotel on 57th and 6th Avenue -- now torn down. The studio we worked in was the former ballroom on the main floor of the hotel -- it had glittering chandelier, fluted columns and thick, hard plaster walls. All of which produced a live, incredibly clear acoustical setting. It was a joy for me, as a producer, to work there. And work there I did, producing many chamber recordings. It could be daunting to work with some artists -- not Janos Starker. He is always professional, and his technique is flawless. His perfect intonation and impeccable bowing can easily be heard on his record of the Second Bach Suite (Mercury Living Presence MG50445/SR 90445. Of these performances Starker himself comments with some reserve that they are of a high level and that he "was and am satisfied with the results."
