SUGGESTED HOST INTRO

The Bach Suites for Solo Cello are revered by cellists.  Many call them their "Bible." One of those Bach Bible-toting cellists is Zuill Bailey.  He says there's something about playing these long, solitary pieces of music that reveals as much about the performer as it does the composer.


Zuill Bailey Clip:

"Look, the more I play Bach in public the more I don’t want to play Bach in public.  Bach is so personal.  Bach is like the mirror to the soul.  It's like an open therapy session where you're saying things that everyone's listening to - and they're judging you for it.  It’s an x-ray, it's not a portrait; it's an x-ray of your being."


SUGGESTED HOST OUTRO

Listening to cellist Zuill (ZOOL) Bailey play Bach is one way you can get to know him up close and personal – perhaps better than what you'd learn from reading his bio.  You can really get to know him on his new CD; it contains the six Bach Suites for Unaccompanied Cello – and from that CD, this is (insert suite number).
