I have just read with visceral shock your horrible comments about my performance of Bach’s 2nd Suite for Cello at Eisenach Easter 2000, on the Bach Cantatas website. I remember every heart-felt note of the 3 Suites and the Cantatas of those 3 days, and the fabulous singing. I am astonished that you feel my music making consists of ‘just playing the notes correctly’, and that you feel able to dismiss a dedicated musician so casually,in passing ‘I almost forgot’ Having read your opinion, I hoped to read about your musical background and credentials, but have searched the net in vain. Please do me the courtesy of letting me know at which musical institutions you have studied and at what level you have yourself performed, or where I can next hear you perform, so that I can better understand the nature of what you consider to be interpretation.

Yes please, it would be at least fair to know about the musical background and credential of Mister van Veen since he feel free to publish his personal comments about the work of musicians.
Please it is not desired to read any further negative comments on this website (and in social networks like twitter) about my work and that of my Ensemble.
Thank you very much.
