Cello podcast - cello musicians

Barely a week goes by that I don't have YouTube playing in the background, listening to Bach's cello Suite 1, especially the prelude.  I looked forward to hearing some other cello music that was showcased on NPR on Tuesday Feb. 13, 2018.  I liked it so much that I've copy and pasted the highlights from the show that I'd like to look up.  This was a really nice podcast that introduced me to a few musicians I didn't know as well as some that I already know.  

DJ SESSIONS

DJ Sessions: The Legacy Of The Cello

When Johann Sebastian Bach was born, the cello had only been around for a few decades. In 1717, Bach composed his first cello suite, one of six that would go on to be remembered as one of the most well-known solo cello pieces of all time.

In this Here & Now DJ Session, host Jeremy Hobson explores the legacy of the cello with WQXR DJ Terrance McKnight (@mcknight3000), including modern works from Philip Glass and Bright Sheng.
