Van Diemen's Band is proud to present one of the world's great musicians, virtuoso gamba player Paolo Pandolfo, in an Australian exclusive performance of Bach's six Suites for Solo Cello - adapted for viola da gamba by Pandolfo himself.Hailed as ‘one of the most brilliant and poetic of the instrument's current exponents’ (Gramophone), Pandolfo's adaption of the six Suites for gamba are a milestone in the history of Bach's music, bringing a fresh new interpretation to these iconic works.
JS Bach's Cello Suites are pillars of classical music, famously popularised by Pablo Casals: "they are the very essence of Bach, and Bach is the essence of music".
Full of thoughtfulness and imagination, Pandolfo's revelatory version traverses the borders between the 'old world' of the gamba and the new one of the cello‚ throwing a new light onto that older world to summon the ‘ancient footsteps’ which echo through the solo gamba repertoire and on into Bach’s bright new cello dawn.
Pandolfo will perform the six Suites over two remarkable concerts at Hobart Town Hall:
Concert 1 - 2pm - Suites 1, 5 and 3
Concert 2 - 6pm - Suites 4, 2 and 6
Tickets can be purchased separately to Concert 1 and 2, or together as a 2-concert package.
