Bach’s iconic “Suites for Cello Solo” form the pinnacle of the entire cello repertoire, the ultimate challenge and a Mount Everest every young and aspiring cellist has to climb, no matter how often that has already been done.

This performance of the “Six Cello Suites” are in alternation with 6 pieces for cello solo written during the Pandemic for the artist by Geoffrey Gordon, Éric Tanguy, Dai Fujikura, José Elizondo, Bongani Ndodana-Breen and Elena Kats-Chernin, creating a dialogue between the old and new, bridging 3 centuries and 6 continents.

Benedict Kloeckner is a highly regarded representative of the new generation of cellists. He performed with renowned orchestras.
