Often, our On That Note segment recordings take place with Bonnie North in the Lake Effect studio, and cellist Robert Cohen in some far-flung place where he is performing, either on his own or as part of the Fine Arts Quartet.
However for this edition, Cohen came by the studio with his cello to not only perform some Bach pieces, but talk about their unique qualities.
"Bach doesn't write any (markings), so he leaves it entirely up to you," says Cohen. "And that's what's sort of fascinating for cellists because you really have to have your own idea of how you want it to be. Since the music is so flexible and extraordinary...there's different color and different character."
