Sarabande from Bach's Suite #5 in c for solo cello
Shirley Hunt performs the Sarabande from J. S. Bach’s Suite for Violoncello Solo in c minor. The concert took place on 28 February 2016 in Grayslake Illinois as part of the 2015–2016 season of Early Music at the Byron Colby Barn. The concert was entitled “Tune In: Scordatura and More,” since all the pieces on the program required non-standard tunings. The cello is an original instrument, made in 1775 in London by William Forster II (often referred to as "Old Forster"). The bow was made in Montreal in 2006 by Louis Begin..
