About

Live recordings of the Bach Cello Suites are rare, with soloists using the safety of the recording studio and the opportunities offered for re-takes and patching. William Butt prefers to take risks with the help of an audience and creates remarkable performances in the process with these iconic works by J S Bach.

William Butt was born in London. He studied at the Royal Northern College of Music with Moray Welsh and after winning awards and scholarships such as the Royal Society of Arts, Martin Trust and first prize in the Muriel Taylor competition, he furthered his studies with Antonio Lysy in Montreal. He now enjoys a busy career as soloist and chamber musician, and is professor of cello at the Royal Irish Academy of Music in Dublin. He plays on a fine cello made by Giovanni Grancino in Milan (1690).

Live Recording made at St John’s, Smith Square, London, 20 & 27 March 2009.
