Johann Sebastian Bach’s Suites represent the Holy Grail for today’s cellists. Often associated with Pablo Casals, these six legendary pieces for the cello, are rarely played all together. What makes the splendour of these pieces is the way Bach’s unmatched virtuosity offers the instrument an almost polyphonic composition.
The best cellists France has to offer, Emmanuelle Bertrand, Marc Coppey, Ophélie Gaillard, Anne Gastinel, Jérôme Pernoo and Xavier Phillips, come together to play these intimate monuments, as a succession of pieces in the form of dances.
