Baroque cellist Tanya Tomkins makes an indelible impression with her virtuosic recording of J S Bach's Cello Suites.
Tanya Tomkins, one of the foremost cellists of her generation, makes an indelible impression scaling the pinnacle of the cello repertoire, J S Bach's Six Suites for Unaccompanied Cello. Familiar to record collectors through her appearance on Avie's release of Kummer's Cello Duets, and as a member of the Benvenue Fortepiano Trio's Mendelssohn and Schumann recordings, Tanya is equally at home in an intimate house concert setting or anchoring the cello section of the San Francisco's Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra. A student of Anner Bylsma at the Royal Conservatory of Music in the Netherlands, Tanya was the first cellist to win the Boston-based Erwin Brodsky Competition for early music soloists, in 2001. In addition to Philharmonia Baroque, she has been a featured soloist with the Portland Baroque Orchestra, American Bach Soloists, and the Oregon Bach Festival. As a recitalist, Tanya has performed at Lincoln Center and the 92nd Street Y in New York City, and the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam.
Critical acclaim:
"Tomkins explored Bach's Cello suite No. 1 with a probing, ruminating, often rhapsodic approach." – Los Angeles Times
"Superlative performance … A performer who combines an intense dramatic fire with Apollonian poise … There is an international career of great renown awaiting this young woman." – Cleveland Plain Dealer
"A cellist with a very special and unusual intensity." – NRC Handelsblad (The Netherlands)
Personnel: Tanya Tomkins (cello)
