When I was pulling my hair out trying to complete the planning for this series, I asked a conductor in my musical network for help: “I need a good cellist! Is there anyone you can highly recommend?” He answered in a flash without hesitation, “Philip Higham”. So here he is! The First Prize winner at the Leipzig International Bach Competition in 2008, his recording of Bach’s Cello Suites has garnered critical acclaim. At Breinton, he will perform the cello suites No. 2, 4 and 5. You cannot find anyone more suitable to perform an all-Bach programme. Definitely not to be missed.
