Featuring
Jean-Guihen Queyras, 
conductor, soloist

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 French actor Lambert Wilson.

Suite 2, Courante: À bout de souffle

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.

Jean-Guihen will be delighted to answer your questions, which can be sent to live@idagio.com
