Raphael Wallfisch performs Bach
Temple Church, EC4Y 7BB , [Venue Details]J S Bach: Cello Suites, numbers 1, 2, and 3
Experience an unforgettable evening of music as renowned British cellist Raphael Wallfisch brings to life the timeless genius of Johann Sebastian Bach.
Join us for an evening where music, history, and purpose come together in perfect harmony.
Performing the first three of Bach’s iconic Cello Suites entirely from memory, Wallfisch offers a rare and intimate interpretation of these masterpieces ahead of a landmark recording project.
This concert forms part of an ambitious series to record all six suites in architecturally extraordinary venues, many linked to Sir Christopher Wren, a contemporary of Bach. Each location has been carefully chosen for its unique acoustics and natural light, elements that profoundly shape both performance and listening experience. Among these, Temple Church stands out not only for its beauty but for its musical legacy, having hosted Paul Tortelier’s celebrated recording over four decades ago.
Wallfisch’s project will mark the first time he has recorded the complete Bach Cello Suites, making this performance an extraordinary preview of something truly historic. In the luminous and resonant surroundings of Temple Church, music and architecture meet, creating a powerful artistic dialogue where sound, space, and structure inspire one another.
This event is promoted by Temple Church Trust.
