Wolfgang BoettcherAbout
Wolfgang Boettcher became principal cellist in Karajan's Berlin Philharmonic at the age of 22. He left in 1976 to teach and pursue a solo career. He was a founding member of the many chamber ensembles drawn from the orchestra including the 12 Cellists of the Berlin Philharmonic, the Philharmonic Soloists Berlin and the Brandis Quartett, founded in January 1976 by the orchestra’s Concertmaster Thomas Brandis.
The Six Suites for Unaccompanied Cello by Johann Sebastian Bach are acclaimed as some of the greatest works ever written for solo cello. They were most likely composed during the period 1717–1723, when Bach served as a Kapellmeister in Cöthen. The suites contain a great variety of technical devices, a wide range of emotional content, and some of Bach's most compelling voice interactions and conversations. It is their intimacy, however, that has made the suites amongst Bach's most popular works today, resulting in their different recorded interpretations being fiercely defended by their respective advocates.
