Synopsis by Ed Atkinson
This six part series from Bullfrog Films presents world famous cellist Yo-Yo Ma and his musings on the great composer Johann Sebastian Bach. Ma decided that he wanted to celebrate Bach and his Suites for Unaccompanied Cello; thus leading him to film six distinct visual and musical interpretations of these suites. This series is a multimedia view into the creative process, showing how musicians and other artists come together to explore a shared or central theme. Not only will you be witness to beautiful music, but you will be exposed to some of today's most inventive filmmakers as they join forces with a living legend. The series includes The Music Garden, The Sound of Carceri, Falling Down the Stairs, Sarabande, Struggle for Hope, and Six Gestures.
