In summer of 2021, cellist Geirþrúður Anna Guðmundsdóttir performs all six Solo Cello Suites by Johann Sebastian Bach in a tour around the country. The Cello Suites are the most beloved works in all the cello repertoire and some of the greatest pieces in the classical canon. In this six-act opera for the solo cello, Bach takes both performer and listener on a magical journey. Starting with the simple triad which opens innocent sounding first suite, he takes us on through the intimate second suite, the extroverted third suite, the rhetorical fourth suite, the stormy and tragic fifth suite, culminating in the heroic and euphoric sixth suite.
