Programme includes:
Bach Suite BWV 1012
Frank Martin Quatre pièces brèves
Adès Forgotten Dances
These 3 suites explore relationships to baroque dance – each work in some sense ‘forgotten’. Martin’s ‘Quatre Pieces Breves’, written for (but neglected by) Segovia, lay unplayed until Julian Bream championed the suite in the 1960s; the first recorded performance of Bach’s Cello Suites was over 100 years after they were likely written; and Thomas Adès’s ‘Forgotten Dances’ invokes a stunning range of past composers and artists. In his 6th Cello Suite Bach is at his most futuristic, while 20th and 21st century composers allude to Baroque masters obliquely offering both homage and spectacle.
‘What’s really striking is the way in which Shibe sustains a world of intensity and introspection through playing that buzzes with vitality. The attention to detail in his playing is breathtaking; nothing interrupts the flow of the music, and nothing is done purely for effect.’ The Guardian
