Wang Jian brings Bach Suites to town again

Bach is no stranger to Wang Jian. In 2009, the world-renowned cellist first played the Solo Cello Suites by J.S. Bach in Beijing.

He will be back at the Beijing Concert Hall on Nov 23 to play Bach. Wang says his interpretation of this "cellistic bible" changes all the time. Instead of telling "what happened to me personally", he's telling a story that had happened to someone else, a long time ago - "in a way there is more distance between me and the story I'm telling".

"At the beginning my interpretation was perhaps more romantic, now it's perhaps a little more philosophical," Wang explains.
