"Cello & Bach - Begeistert & Berührt" - Premiere

Prof. Andreas Greger performs and presents suites by Johann Sebastian Bach - by candlelight, live, and guaranteed AI-free.

The solo cello suites rank among the most significant works Bach ever wrote - yet they were forgotten for 150 years. Was it the baroque spirit of the age that made them seem outdated? Did they lack the emotional directness of Haydn or Beethoven?

Greger explores this question and offers an emotional reading of three suites: Suite No. 1 (G major) as the "Famous", Suite No. 2 (D minor) as the "Melancholic", Suite No. 3 (C major) as the "Laughing". Questions of historical performance practice take a back seat - emotional expression comes first.

Doors open at 19:00.
