Bach Cello Suites
Transcribed for Viola
Tasana Nagavajara, viola
J.S. Bach
Cello Suite No.1 in G major, BWV 1007
Cello Suite No.2 in D minor, BWV 1008
Cello Suite No.3 in C major, BWV 1009
The six cello suites of Bach were first transcribed for viola by Samuel Lifschey (principal violist of the Philadelphia Orchestra), in the 1920's. Since then, they have become a major part of the solo viola repertoire. In this concert Tasana will play the first three suites. He will perform the last three suites of the set later in the year.
Tasana Nagavajara started learning the violin at the age of 9.The turning point in his musical education came in 1989 when he was granted a full scholarship by the International Menuhin Music Academy (IMMA) to study with Alberto Lysy and Johannes Eskar in Switzerland. He thereby gained the golden opportunity to become a member of the Camerata Lysy Gstaad which performed under Lord Yehudi Menuhin in most major European cities, USA, Canada and South America. He performs regularly at Eelswamp.

Andrei Kudriakov proved himself as a pianist of great musicianship and remarkable endurance in his recent performances of the complete Chopin Nocturnes at Eelswamp in January this year. He began formal training at age four at the “Rainbow” Music School No. 8 under Elena Mukhametova. His career quickly gained momentum with major competition victories, including the Grand Prix at the All-Russian Pianists Competition in Tolyatti (2000) and the International Kabalevsky Competition in Samara (2001). He went on to study at the Samara Music College under Larisa Parfenova and later at the Saratov State Conservatory with Professor Albert Tarakanov, graduating with honors and earning a Doctor of Musical Arts degree.
Kudriakov refined his artistry through masterclasses with pianists such as Lang Lang, Denis Matsuev, and Mikhail Pletnev, building a repertoire that spans solo works, chamber music, and more than twenty concertos.
Andrei performed the complete Chopin Nocturnes at Eelswamp in January this year, establishing himself as a first rate pianist. Don't miss these performances.
*Stem separation is an AI technique that separates piano and orchestra recordings into two stems: piano and orchestra. We use the orchestra stem as background for the piano soloist. We did this in April with Andrey Gugnin playing Brahms First Piano Concerto. It was a smash hit. This time we will have improved stereo technology for a fuller orchestra sound.
