The Bach Recitals: Yo-Yo Ma Plays the Cello Suites

ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Proms 2015

The solo Bach series concludes with a performance from the great American cellist Yo-Yo Ma. Over one single late night concert, he performs all six Cello Suites - over two hours of music - in a feat that is as challenging intellectually as it is physically. Presented by Kirsty Wark.
