Ian Watson and Guy Fishman in conversation

Cellist Guy Fishman, a frequent performer at the Connecticut Early Music Festival, chats with Festival Artistic Director Ian Watson. Hear about his entry into the world of music as a middle school student, his introduction to the cello, what it is that makes a string instrument a 'period string instrument' (hint: it's not just gut strings vs. steel strings!), how he collaborates with other musicians, and how that collaboration might vary by repertoire. His thoughtful discussion is capped off by a performance of the Sarabande from J.S. Bach's Suite No. 1 for in G major, BWV 1007.
