About this product
Following on the success of his adaptation of the Goldberg Variations, Spoerli turned to that other Bach masterpiece, the Suites for Solo Cello, offering his abstract vision in three stunningly beautiful dance episodes. The choreography mixes solos, pas de deux, trios and ensemble work. Beginning and ending with a near-identical solo, the cycle is dominated by circularity. The duets are virtuoso gems, athleticism made dance. It's subtle play on balance and the relationship between bodies and light, the symmetry and asymmetry of the ensemble parts, it's purity of movement and it's sheer energy make this a ballet of remarkable density, depth and theatrical beauty. The Bach Suites are played here by Claudius Herrmann, solo cellist with the Zurich Opera Orchestra, in a rendition that does full justice to their choreographic potential.

In 2018, Yo-Yo Ma began a two-year journey, setting out to perform Johann Sebastian Bach's six suites for solo cello in one sitting, across 36 locations on 6 continents. For Yo-Yo, Bach's 300-hundred-year-old music is one extraordinary example of how culture connects us and can help us to imagine and build a better future. In an unforgettable experience the 19 times Grammy ® Award winner and internationally acclaimed cellist performed the Cello Suites at the overwhelming Odeon of Herodes Atticus in Athens. Yo-Yo Ma says InchThese suites are so meaningful. They're not only companions and friends, but they've also been reference points in my life.Inch InchSoft sounds around me suggested that others were caught up in similarly strong emotions. How Ma has this effect on people is a mystery I suspect it has to do with the warmth he brings to music that is fundamentally beyond comprehension. He makes the godlike human.Inch (Alex Ross, The New Yorker)

Through the influence of the many St. Thomas Cantors, including the most famous- Johann Sebastian Bach (Thomas Cantor 1723-1750)- the city of Leipzig and the St. Thomas Church became the center of Protestant church music. The St. Thomas Church is home to the Boys Choir. A choir rich in tradition, they are committed to continuing this musical legacy. This contains the award-winning two-hour documentary InchDie Thomaner - A Year in the Life of the St. Thomas Boys Choir LeipzigInch by Paul Smaczny and Günter Atteln as well as the breathtaking recordings of two of Johann Sebastian Bach's major choral works the St. Matthew Passion and the Mass in B minor.
