“An aura of sophistication and tremendous intellectual integrity” The Herald French cellist Jean-Guihen Queyras charms audience all over the world with his flawless technique and engaging performances. Acclaimed for his thorough approach both to early and contemporary music (with a long-lasting collaboration with Pierre Boulez) he continues to encompass that full range of instrumental works in his recitals – as tonight. Here, alternating with the first three of Bach’s Cello Suites, he features three contemporary composers, including a work composed for him by Jonathan Harvey.
