Joachim Eijlander in conversation with Dominy Clements, excerpt:
Johann Sebastian Bach’s Suites ? Violoncello Solo senza Basso have acquired a remarkable performance tradition from Pablo casals onwards. do you take particular stance with regard to this rich resource of musical ancestry, or have you taken a purist view, looking at the scores as far as possible in a spirit of individualistic research?
Reading this question, i immediately think of answers that touch so many sides and topics of the suites by Bach. Since casals, we can listen to many many beautiful recordings of famous and also less famous cellists; there is so much research by musicians, their teachers, violin makers and musicologists available... this is so wonderful! i feel that every question and every thought about the cello suites by Bach seems to be connected with another one. there is something magic about thinking about the suites; the image of taking a long close look into a gemstone in sunlight comes to mind. you can always find new reflections in it. about the playing tradition, it is somehow ambiguous to speak in these terms. casals taught the suites in a meticulous way to his students, but at the same time he was always searching and finding something new about them. i believe that the suites guided the artistic development of so many great artists.
