J.S. Bach: Suite No. 2 in D Minor for Unaccompanied Cello, fifth movement: Menuets Colin Carr performed all six suites over two consecutive evenings in April 2012. Stony Brook University, New York.

Colin Carr will perform all Six Suites for Solo Cello by J.S. Bach. Written in the 1720’s, these pieces catapulted the cello into the realm of ‘solo’ instrument. Encapsulating in one voice the entire gamut of human emotion, the act of performing them chronologically as one complete work has become the cellist’s Everest — a feat of both artistry and incredible stamina.
