A pair of cellists, and some re-envisioned Bach
Two great young cellists are in the show today. Daniel Mueller-Schott plays a Saint-Saens concerto with the Luxembourg Philharmonic, and Joshua Roman plays the Tchaikovsky Rococo Variations at the Bellingham Festival in Washington. Plus, a pair of fascinating Bach transcriptions, from Bach day at the BBC Proms in London.
