Bach’s iconic “Suites for Cello Solo” form the pinnacle of the entire cello repertoire, the ultimate challenge and a Mount Everest every young and aspiring cellist has to climb, no matter how often that has already been done.

This performance of the “Six Cello Suites” are in alternation with 6 pieces for cello solo written during the Pandemic for the artist by Geoffrey Gordon, Éric Tanguy, Dai Fujikura, José Elizondo, Bongani Ndodana-Breen and Elena Kats-Chernin, creating a dialogue between the old and new, bridging 3 centuries and 6 continents.

Benedict Kloeckner is a highly regarded representative of the new generation of cellists. He performed with renowned orchestras such as the Royal Philharmonic, German Radio Philharmonic Orchestra, the Mozarteum Orchestra Salzburg, the NDR and Leipzig Radio Symphony Orchestras, the Kremerata Baltica and the Munich Chamber Orchestra, and worked with conductors such as Christoph Eschenbach, Howard Griffiths, Ingo Metzmacher, Michael Sanderling and Heinrich Schiff. A keen chamber musician, Benedict performed with artists such as Sir András Schiff, Anne Sophie Mutter, Gidon Kremer, Christoph Eschenbach, Antoine Tamestit, Emmanuel Ax, Fazil Say, Lisa Batiashvili, Yuri Bashmet, Benjamin Grosvenor, Lars Vogt and Christian Tetzlaff.
