15 - Spinning Bach: Geirþrúður Guðmundsdóttir

This Icelandic virtuoso performs the Suite in D minor from Bach’s iconic music for solo cello alongside a work by her fellow countryman with the title which means spinning. 

Praised for her "technical mastery" and "extraordinarily musical" performances Guðmundsdóttir is carving a distinctive artistic voice, combining sensitivity with a bold and fiery stage presence. She has performed at venues across the world, including Carnegie Hall, the Southbank Centre, the Warsaw Philharmonic, Lincoln Center, and the Banff Centre, and appeared as a soloist with the Iceland Symphony Orchestra. Her performance in Reykjavík's Harpa Concert Hall of the six Bach Cello Suites, was hailed as "an awe-inspiring experience”
