Prom 68: Bach – Six Cello Suites

Part of the Proms 2015 Series

Add to my Calendar 05-09-2015 21:00 05-09-2015 23:00 36 Prom 68: Bach – Six Cello Suites American cellist Yo-Yo Ma has been a regular Proms soloist for almost 40 years, and now tackles perhaps his boldest performance to date. He performs the complete Bach solo cello suites - over two hours of music - in a single concert: a feat as challenging intellectually as it is physically. Though neglected until the 20th century, the suites represent some of Bach’s greatest musical achievements - music at its purest and most profound. Ma’s relationship with them extends back over many decades and multiple recordings, generating expressive performances distinguished by their depth of emotion.
