He is called Anner Bylsma. A simple, smiling man whose glance radiates kindness, he is one of the world's leading cellists. Despite the various facets of his career -- a musician in the Amsterdam Concertgebouw Orchestra, a noted soloist, an interpreter of contemporary music -- he is generally pigeonholed as one of the fathers of the revival of Baroque music in the 1970s (alongside Nikolaus Harnoncourt, Gustav Leonhardt, the Kuijken brothers, or Frans Brüggen). The repertoire he tackles here corresponds perfectly to the world of the cellist: Romantic with Auguste-Joseph Franchomme, contemporary with the Belgian composer Henri Pousseur, Baroque with Domenico Gabrielli, and naturally Johann Sebastian Bach, on whom he is one of the most scrupulous of experts, as may be seen notably in his critical edition of the Suites for solo cello.
