This version of Bach’s first cello suite was recorded live in the Great Smoky Mountains. I’ve always thought of Suite No. 1 as “Nature at Play,” so it was a dream to play it with the birds, the trees, and the rushing brook. ▶️ yoyoma.lnk.to/natureatplay

There’s no better guide to the world of Fauré than @kathystott.

BBC Radio 3 @BBCRadio3 Nov 4, 2024

Fauré has been the musical love of pianist Kathryn Stott’s life.

In ‘Fauré and Me’, @kathystott travels to France to visit Fauré's birthplace and celebrate his music. From the chapel where where Fauré’s musical talents were discovered, to hearing from the leading Fauré scholar, Jean-Michel Nectoux, and star cellist @YoYo_Ma, we delve into this great composer's life.

Listen now on @BBCSounds.
