- In Memoriam Anner Bylsma (Anne Bijlsma), 17 February 1934 - 25 July 2019, Baroque Cello
Johann Sebastian Bach (21 March 1685 - 28 July 1750)
Live recording from several concerts - not certain where (Leiden, according to file metadata?) and when (possibly 1998?). It would be good to know this information. With additional encores & arrangement of BWV 1013. Audio quality can be quite variable and the Gigue of the 4th suite is missing, but I hope it does give another glimpse of Bylsma's art.

remember as a young man being in love with the version of the suites played by Pierre Fournier. At a certain point in the 90s, I don't remember the exact year, an advert appeared in a newspaper announcing that a Dutch cellist would play, in two days, all Bach's suites at the Palazzo della Cancelleria in Rome, my city. .
I loved, I LOVE that music so much that I went to the concert only regretting that my idol Fournier hadn't come to perform it. I must say that I was not immediately able to follow the entire performance of Bylsma, it was so different from all the versions I had known up to that moment. But inside me I felt that there was something I wanted to explore further. I bought his '92 album and after a few listens I was in heaven. Since then I have listened to all subsequent recordings, live and in the studio and I consider Anner Bylsma to be
a chapter apart in the performance of baroque music and brought the Suites to a level never reached before. Without taking anything away from the greatness of the interpretation of other great interpreters
I think this is Bylsma's best recording of Bach's suites, and I've heard them all, many times. A great performance.
a few note of the first prelude and i'm living in another world, somewere in time and space. Thank you Maestro Bylsma . I never forget the suites live in MIlano, 20 years ago.
RIP Anner.
Stunning. Great collection of recordings. Thank you for sharing these.
Thank you. This is really a treat.
Sometimes you simply must put forth 110% effort, as we hear before us. *carried applause throughout deepens* Beautful, my good sir. Thank you very much.
Some use the word sublime to describe a thing. And maybe these things are sublime? But this? If this is not sublime, then nothing made by humans can be called sublime. The level of engagement between the composer and player, music and musician, musician and instrument... somehow I feel like I am inside the music. Like being inside a magnificent space, under the Milky Way, or in a field of tall grass with the wind blowing over it all while a river is running. And that is the physical aspect of it. Then there is the emotional depth... from joy to grief and back again. A lifetime is expressed.
Nice Job Sir!
me not music expert but can feel my heartbeat sync on first piece...
i wish this guy was my cello teacher.
18:17 Is My Fav Part
Boring. The sound is like a hive of bees. My choice is Mischa Maisky, who gives me emotions and even tears. These period pratictioners like Bylsma are pretentious performers liked by complaisant academics and biased critics for commercial reasons. Besides, they are never authentic, not in a million years
Sir this is a Wendy's
My goodness-you are so very judgmental!

Before he recorded his influential recording of the Bach suites, and while he, Gustav Leonhardt, and Frans Brueggen were the pioneering "period practitoners" and honing their interpretive skills, Bylsma was for six years principal cello of the Concertgebouw Orchestra, one of the greatest in the world. One doesn't get to sit at the top of the profession, in such a distinguished position for six years with a "sound like a hive of bees". He was always a great cellist. There is nothing pretentious about Bylsma and his playing. He is not just a "period practioner". If you don't like his sound (related to his Baroque cello and bow) you don't like it, that's for you to say. I listened to a bit of Maisky. He sounds like a fine cellist.
