The sound of the solo cello is as compelling and eloquent as the human voice, with
a chameleon’s ability to embody any role. Anchoring the concert with one of the
spectacular Bach Suites, Haimovitz engages the audience, introducing his program
from the stage, creating unexpected epiphanies and fostering a new intimacy with
the music. Haimovitz has brought the sounds of Bach, Ligeti, Britten, Golijov, Reger,
Carter, Kodaly, Machover, Dutilleux, Spratlan as well as his own arrangement of Jimi
Hendrix’s “Star-Spangled Banner,” to concert halls and listening rooms alike.
