“Bach During Lockdown” Suite No. 6 in D Major

This is my quarantine project of all the Bach Suites, which was commissioned by the Orquesta Filarmónica de Bogotá. Thanks for watching!
Video, sound and editing done by me.

3:38!! such a genius move- the top A is played on the same note as the previous note E but on harmonics... no more sliding arpeggios! This is probably what Bach intended to sound like on a cello piccolo or da spalla. Bravo!

[@hollygrail2964]

😯 I never noticed this! Thanks for the tip!! 🙌🏻

[@federicofranceschini1783]

I just commented the same thing!

[@morganbandy717]

Tortelier does the same here too.

I like how you were re-thinking the 'usual' interpretation, bringing the world a wonderful fresh view on the same Urtext. And masterly played! Thank you.

[@audreylafargue4701]

Wonderful interpretation, as always. Music lives, breathes, it touches my heart, my soul. I feel a very great sensitivity. I love that ! Bravissimo Santiago

[@juliusmaknickas705]

Perfect!! (Great sound, musicality, quality, hole suite interpretation!!!) Thank you!

[@sylvainleblond4291]

The best cellist ever… The best music ever…

[@cellosong]

I love your approach. Your beautiful lines, varied dynamics and clear harmonic progressions bring out the full depth of the music. I think Bach would have loved it. Thank you for sharing this with us. Your playing is a gift.

[@suzukicellostudio4892]

Marvelous, we love all suites. Such a beautiful interpretation. Thanks a lot for giving us hope with your music. 🙏💙🎵🎶🎻

[@cellomoore]

An amazing accomplishment!!!! I wish Casals could have heard you. Viva Colombia!!!

[@gspreucil]

I wish my father had heard him! He would have loved Santi!

[@e.b.1279]

Man! You are SPEAKING that Courante!! Such a fun dance and interpretation.. ..just WOW!!!

[@mohsennategh3217]

Brilliant interpretation, amazing bow control. You made my day. I have always followed you. Great work

[@jorgevillavicencio2955]

Nothing less than amazing. Muy bien Santiago, supervio!

[@GRANT-W-NEALE]

I now truly have years of study. These 6 suites are the foundation of my love for Cello. Obvious maybe to many but a "true" experience to live through ... and maybe the only thing that one may take with oneself when the time comes ... The simple thought of hearing this music for eternity brings me to tears.

[@gabrielangelherreramedina8566]

Brilante interpretación, que gran músico es Santiago. Gracias por presentarnos Bach con toda su profundidad arquitectónica, gracias por interpretarlo con una pureza casi eclesiastica (para lo que se compuso esa música) voy a empezar a creer en Dios si sigo escuchando una calidad como estas. Que no pare, que con obras majestuosas como estas nos enfrentemos a la adversidad, que podamos encontrarnos en la quietud de estos sonidos.

[@RanyaIqbal]

I 💜 the way you play! Thank you for this music 🙏🏼

[@oldrichcepelka296]

Admirable works of Santiago. Bravo!

La 6ª suite transcendiedo límites ,nos brinda alas hacea la pura alegría,una verdadera ofrenda para los tiempos que corren.Gracias Santiago las seis suites han sido una hermosa celebración.

[@bethvandervennet4024]

Beautiful, you make it sound so easy!

[@pollypip3295]

I'm really in love with your style bringing these old compositions to life. Wonderful magnetic and warm sound and at the same time so clearly pronounced - breathing - singing - dancing . Totally concentrated but also totally in flow - magic ;))) Absolutely my favourite Cellist at the moment. Thanks a lot for sharing these wonderfully interpreted suites- love it♡♡♡

[@gspreucil]

Bravo, Santi!! Incredible playing as always! Huge congratulations for this amazing project! Very proud of you! 🎉❤️🎉

[@gspreucil]

I agree!!

[@haiyanzheng6635]

Santi please make a record of Bach Suites… you added dimensions and nuances, besides it’s a more morden interpretation… I cannot wait to buy your record…. ❤️

[@johndunleavy]

Beautiful rendition!

[@erikforsgren4734]

Excellent rendition of the cello suite no.6❤

[@liamnevilleviolist1809]

You are definitely my favourite cellist! I've heard many recordings by others like Du Pre, Rostropvich, Isserlis, Thedeen, Kanneh-Mason .... but for me you are at the top of the list! Such energy, passion and finesse in your playing. Thanks for playing this and recording this for us! All the best! :)

[@PaulFenderBeats]

You're one of the best 👍

[@mmbmbmbmb]

Musical, skilled ... and always elegant is your performance. You are well on your path to a successful musical career. My very best for it. And thank you for letting us be part of this exciting and superb "Bach During Lockdown" project of yours. Hello from Canada, Karin

Bar 85, the sixteenth notes... Never would have thought of that fingering 😳

[@nicholasguest6719]

Would it be acceptable to ask how you record these performances? I am struggling getting good results from a single condenser mic, and perhaps there are some tricks? Goes without saying I am loving the performance! Thanks!

[@alexmoore2374]

Super~

[@themoviejunky3918]

Would love to know the fingerings you use...good job!

[@GRANT-W-NEALE]

Can I ask if you have or suggest an edition of the Cello Suites that follow your (or a good start) fingerings. I'm an autodidact so it could really come in useful :)

[@carlosisai9155]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@arthurcould6296]

cool

[@JLGrant-rp3ke]

Fantastic! Beautiful playing and that Gigue...WOW!

[@richardyoung538]

Is there a cellist anywhere in the world who is now playing better than this? I really don't think so.

[@santiago.canonvalencia]

Thanks so much Richard! Hope you are well.

[@gspreucil]

I completely agree!!

[@brodieofficial]

Ya Santiago you’re the best :)

[@petersechtem4751]

bruuuuh

[@bbberliozb6691]

Because of your concept of what baroque playing is "supposed" to be, you completely detach yourself from the rhythmic integrity of each movement. It's like you are trying to show the listener all the pieces instead of just letting them exist and playing the music.
