At the heart of the repertoire of nearly all cellists, Bach's cello suites are among the most appreciated works of music around the world. The suites highlight how Bach is particularly adept at mixing particular characteristics of the cello from the low bass to the soprano range creating the illusion of multiple voices. The suites were probably composed around 1720 when Bach lived in Cöthen in the service of Prince Leopold, when he composed much secular and instrumental music, including works for solo violin and the famous Brandenburg concertos. For this concert, the main source is the manuscript copy of Anna Magdalena Bach, as no Bach autographs survive.
American-Canadian cellist, gambist, and researcher, Elinor Frey has performed as a soloist and with numerous ensembles and orchestras including Tafelmusik, Pacific Baroque Orchestra, London Symphony, Contantinople, Symphony Nova Scotia and the Australian Brandenburg Orchestra. Her recording Early Italian Cello Concertos won the 2023 JUNO Award for Classical Album of the Year.
Frey is the artistic director of Accademia de’ Dissonanti, an organization for performance and research and recipient of dozens of grants and prizes supporting performance and research, including the US-Italy Fulbright Fellowship (studying with Paolo Beschi in Como, Italy) and a recent research residency at the Orpheus Institute in Ghent. She teaches Baroque cello and performance practice at McGill University and the Université de Montréal. Frey was awarded Québec’s Opus Prize for “Performer of the Year” in 2021.
