🎼J.S. Bach Cello Suites🗓 2 May at 2:30pm
📍Pusey House Chapel
🎶Conducted by Steven Grahl, with Henrik Persson (cello), Anhad Arora (harpsichord), and OBS Scholars.
The programme includes:
▪️J.S. Bach's Cello Suites No.5 in C minor (BWV 1011)
▪️J.S. Bach's 'Komm, Jesu, komm' (BWV 229)
▪️Selections from Heinrich Schütz's Psalmen Davids
▪️Keyboard works by Georg Böhm
J.S. Bach’s Cello Suites BWV 1007–1012 are now among his best-known works, but they were largely forgotten until the early 20th century. Most likely written during his time in Köthen, each suite is based on Baroque dance forms and combines clarity, control, and expressive detail.
This six-part concert series from the Oxford Bach Soloists features all six Cello Suites performed by principal cellist Henrik Persson. Each performance also includes choral music from our scholars and keyboard works from our co-principal keyboardists.
❗This is the fifth concert in this series.
Our Cello Suites series is funded by the Continuo Foundation.
