Harmonious World

Bion Tsang

Hilary Robertson Season 5 Episode 72

In a delightful conversation with cellist Bion Tsang, we explored some of the reasons for Bach's long-lasting appeal.

Bion has just released a double CD collection of Bach's cello suites.  Alongside Bion's own undeniable talent, the sonorous, rare Stradivari cello combine with the acoustics of the Bastyr Chapel, Seattle to produce a wonderful album.

Thanks to Bion for allowing me to play extracts from the album alongside our conversation. You can hear the Prelude from Suite no 1 in G major at the start, and the Gigue that finishes Suite no 6 in D major at the end.
