A unique insight into one of the greatest composers of all time, from a leading light of contemporary classical music, in a world-class concert hall. Acclaimed worldwide for his profound musicianship and technical mastery, cellist Steven Isserlis is also an author and broadcaster. In addition to a discussion of his latest book The Bach Cello Suites: A Companion, the evening will include readings from Dame Janet Suzman, Shakespearian star of stage and screen and Isserlis performing two movements from Bach’s Six Suites for cello, amongst the most legendary works in music. As Michael Palin puts it: “A master of the material, yet always able to make it accessible. It is an absolute treat to be led to this sublime music by such an enthusiastic expert.”
An event from Jewish Book Week 2022.
