About the album

Pieter Wispelweys neue Sicht auf Bachs Cellosuiten
Bonus-DVD mit Interviews des herausragenden Künstlers


Ein neues Instrument, erweiterte klangliche Möglichkeiten und über die Jahre gewonnene musikalische Erkenntnisse motivierten Pieter Wispelwey zu einer Neuaufnahme der Cellosuiten von Johann Sebastian Bach. Neben der Doppel-CD mit den Suiten enthält die Box eine DVD, die im historischen Ambiente in Oxford aufgenommen wurde. Sie zeigt den Ausnahme-Cellisten beim Musizieren sowie im Dialog mit den Bachforschern Laurence Dreyfus und John Butt. Einmalige Einblicke in Bachs Musik und einen Künstler, der den Werken auch nach unzähligen Aufführungen mit Neugier und Enthusiasmus begegnet.
Un nuovo strumento, nuove sonorità e nuove conoscenze hanno spinto Pieter Wispelwey a realizzare questa nuova registrazione dell’intera raccolta delle Suites per violoncello di Bach. Il documentario che abbinato come bonus DVD al CD doppio è stato girato nell’ambientazione unica e storica del Wadham e del Magdalen College di Oxford: esso ci presenta un dibattito musicale e musicologico tra il violoncellista olandese e gli autorevoli studiosi bachiani Laurence Dreyfus e John Butt. Esso testimonia l’insondabilità e l’elevatezza di questa musica, tale che molto resta da (ri)scoprire anche per un virtuoso che l’ha eseguita migliaia di volte in concerto.

Wispelwey’s career spans five continents and he has appeared as soloist with many of the world’s leading orchestras including the Boston Symphony, Dallas Symphony, Tokyo Philharmonic, Sydney Symphony, London Philharmonic, Gewandhaus Orchester Leipzig, Danish National Radio Symphony and Camerata Salzburg. Conductor collaborations include Ivan Fischer, Esa-Pekka Salonen, Herbert Blomstedt, Yannick Nézet-Séguin, Jeffrey Tate, Kent Nagano, Sir Neville Marriner, Philippe Herreweghe, Ton Koopman and Sir Roger Norrington.
With regular recital appearances in London (Wigmore Hall), Paris (Châtelet, Louvre), Amsterdam (Concertgebouw, Muziekgebouw), Brussels (Bozar), Berlin (Konzerthaus), Milan (Societta del Quartetto), Buenos Aires (Teatro Colon), Sydney (The Utzon Room), Los Angeles (Walt Disney Hall) and New York (Lincoln Center), Wispelwey has established a reputation as one of the most charismatic recitalists on the circuit.
In 2012 Wispelwey celebrated his 50th birthday by embarking on a project showcasing the Bach Cello Suites. He recorded the complete Suites for the third time. A major strand of his recital performances is his performances of the complete suites during the course of one evening, an accomplishment that has attracted major critical acclaim throughout Europe and the US. Pieter Wispelwey plays on a 1760 Giovanni Battista Guadagnini cello and a 1710 Rombouts baroque cello.

Composer(s)

Johann Sebastian Bach

Johann Sebastian Bach was a German composer and musician of the Baroque period. He enriched established German styles through his skill in counterpoint, harmonic and motivic organisation, and the adaptation of rhythms, forms, and textures from abroad, particularly from Italy and France. Bach's compositions include the Brandenburg Concertos, the Goldberg Variations, the Mass in B minor, two Passions, and hundreds of cantatas. His music is revered for its technical command, artistic beauty, and intellectual depth.  Bach's abilities as an organist were highly respected during his lifetime, although he was not widely recognised as a great composer until a revival of interest in and performances of his music in the first half of the 19th century. He is now generally regarded as one of the greatest composers of all time.
