Pieter Wispelwey
The complete Bach cello suites
Tuesday 24 May 2005 19:00-21:30 (Radio 3)
Petroc Trelawny introduces a concert recorded earlier this month at London's Wigmore Hall of the complete Bach cello suites played by the acclaimed Dutch cellist Pieter Wispelwey.
A pupil of both William Pleeth and Anner Bylsma, Wispelwey is as comfortable on the Baroque cello as on the modern instrument. This is a unique opportunity to hear him undertake something of a marathon, performing the works that are considered by many to be the pinnacle of the cello repertoire.
Bach: Cello Suite No 1 in G, BWV1007; Cello Suite No 2 in Dm, BWV1008; Cello Suite No 3 in C, BWV1009; Cello Suite No 4 in E flat BWV1010; Cello Suite No 5 in Cm BWV1011; Cello Suite No 6 in D BWV1012.
