ACO Homecasts Bach On The Beach

For her first solo ACO HomeCast, ACO cellist Melissa Barnard performs Bach’s Courante from the G Major Suite, recorded on a south coast beach in New South Wales.

Melissa says “I took my cello to the beach to play some Bach… I’m not sure that Monsieur Vuillaume from Paris who made it could ever have imagined it played on the beach in Australia! But being outside in nature and by the ocean has been a happy escape from the confinement of these times.”

She adds “The Courante from the G Major Suite is bright and cheerful and seems to complement the dancing of the wind, the waves and some small but vigorous locals on the beach. Thanks to my family for helping to make this video and I hope it’s a breath of fresh air for you.”
