Info for Bach - The Cello Suites

From baroque to contemporary music, from solo programmes to full orchestra – we aim for a broad musical range. Common to all our recordings is an exceptionally high quality of interpretation and recording. In terms of content we focus on the discovery of unknown repertoire and new interpretations. One example of this is a musical journey in the world of Love and Madness: on the disc ‘Amor y Locura’, the ensemble ‘Los Temperamentos’ from Bremen explores expressive songs and virtuoso instrumental music about that topic. It's already the second CD of this ensemble for our label.

„They are the quintessence of Bach’s work as a composer – and Bach is the quintessence of all music. “ Pablo Casals said about the Cello Suites by Johann Sebastian Bach. When these Suites are played in historically informed performace by someone about whom The Strad said: „Her phrasing sounds as natural as breathing…“, you may be more than curious.

Mime Yamahiro Brinkmann, cello

Mime Yamahiro-Brinkmann
wuchs in einem musikalischen Haushalt einer japanischen Kleinstadt auf. Ihre Mutter, Pianistin, gab der 3-jährigen Mime ersten Klavierunterricht. Doch bald übte das Violoncello die größere Faszination auf die junge Musikerin auf. Nach dem Instrumentalstudium an der Toho Gakuen Musikschule in Tokyo konnte sie dank eines Stipendiums ihr Studium am Violoncello und an der Viola da Gamba in den Niederlanden fortsetzen und machte ihr Solistendiplom am Königlichen Konservatorium von Den Haag. Nach dem Sieg beim prestigeträchtigen Concours Musica Antiqua in Brügge etablierte sie sich als Cellistin der Alten Musik in führenden Originalklangensembles wie La Petite Bande in Belgien, dem Bach Collegium Japan, den norwegischen Barokksolistene, dem Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra in Kanada, Seattle Baroque, Apollo’s Fire – the Cleveland Baroque Orchestra (beide USA) und dem Ensemble des Schlosstheaters Drottningholm. Seit 2002 ist sie Mitglied von Concerto Copenhagen unter der Leitung von Lars Ulrik Mortensen. Daneben konzertiert die Barockcellistin auch mit Solo- und Kammermusikprogrammen.
