Conducted by Dónal McCann, with Henrik Persson (cello), Anhad Arora (harpsichord), and OBS Scholars.

J.S. Bach’s Cello Suites BWV 1007–1012 are now among his best-known works, but they were largely forgotten until the early 20th century. Most likely written during his time in Köthen, each suite is based on Baroque dance forms and combines clarity, control, and expressive detail.

This six-part concert series from the Oxford Bach Soloists features all six Cello Suites performed by principal cellist Henrik Persson. Each performance also includes choral music from our scholars and keyboard works from our co-principal keyboardists.

The programme will include:

• J.S. Bach – Cello Suite No. 2 in D minor (BWV 1008)
• Schütz – Jauchzet dem Herrn alle Welt (SWV 36)
• Buxtehude – In te Domine speravi (BuxWV 53)
• Buxtehude – Cantate Domino canticum novum (BuxWV 12)
• Schütz – Deutsches Magnifcat (SWV 494)
• J. L. Bach – Wir Wissen, so unser irdisches Haus
• Gabrieli – Jubilate Deo
• H. Praetorius – Te Deum Patrem ingenitum
• J.S. Bach / Telemann – Jauchzet dem Herrn (BWV Anh. 160)
