Richard recorded Bach's complete cello suites on his debut album released in 2012 which received outstanding reviews across the board and was named in The Independent as one of 'The Best Classical albums of 2012':

'Tunnicliffe's sound is generous and finely grained, the faster dances sharply pointed, the sarabandes dark pools of metreless beauty.'  The Independent on Sunday
