Johann Sebastian Bach: Suite for cello solo no. 1, G major, BWV 1007 - 1st movement prelude

"I live because I play the cello."

A man, a cello, an experience. Sofia Gubaidulina is just as much a fan as the New York Times or Valery Gergiev. Friedrich Kleinhapl plays his Guadagnini cello passionately, expressively and highly individualistically. The sound and the style are unmistakeable, uncompromisingly willing to take risks to give the music a new life at every turn. His music tells the extraordinary story of his life, an authentic intensity that moves and delights both public and critics alike in Europe, America and Asia.mehr
