Jean-Guihen Queyras: Bach Cello Suites · Suite 2 Allemande Speaking or singing

Jean-Guihen Queyras takes us on a journey into the secrets of one of the most famous works for cello solo. His guest in this episode is Emmanuel Pahud, Principal Flute of the Berlin Philharmonic. How did Bach come to conceive the unimaginable: composing an two-and-a-half hour “opera” for a single 4-stringed instrument? Why did he use dances throughout the Suites? Are these dances meant to be danced? How does one choose a bowing? How free can the interpreter be? These are only a few of the many questions on which Jean-Guihen will give us his insight as a passionate performer of this Masterwork.
