You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 34.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:16, 2 March 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Inspired by Bach''', a part of ''Sony Classical celebrates Bach'', presented the contemporary cellist [[Yo-Yo Ma]] performing the six [[Cello Suites (Bach)|Suites for Unaccompanied Cello]] by [[Johann Sebastian Bach]], in a series of six films, each showing a collaboration with artists from different disciplines.

== Formats ==
Published as six [[VHS]] tapes, and three [[DVD]] volumes.  The music was published as two CDs.

== Series content ==

The films are:

DVD Volume 1 - Suite #1- '''The Music Garden''', directed by [[Kevin McMahon (director)|Kevin McMahon]]. After explaining how the first Cello Suite always conjures up images of nature, Yo-Yo Ma recruits architect [[Julie Moir Messervy]] to help him try and design a garden based on the suite. The Music Garden is pitched to [[Boston]] City Hall, showing interest in the project for [[City Hall Plaza (Boston)|City Hall Plaza]] as a way to beautifully meet the demands for security. But the demands the film places on the completion of the project turn out to unreasonable for Boston and they pull out of the project. The city of [[Toronto]] expresses interest in the project once Boston steps out and over the remainder of the film Yo-Yo and Julie work to get the project to the point where actual construction of the Garden can begin.<ref>((cite web

DVD Volume 1 - Suite #2- '''The Sound of the Carceri''', directed by [[François Girard]]. Yo-Yo Ma brings the music of the Second Suite together with the etchings of the 18th century Italian architect [[Giovanni Battista Piranesi]] in this film. Working out of the church that Piranesi built, Yo-Yo with his sound engineer constructs a reverberant rendition of the Second Suite to fit the computer designed three-dimensional version of Piranesi's ''Carceri d'invenzione'' (''Prisons of the Imagination'') that Girard constructs to have Yo-Yo play in over the course of the film. The film explores the connection that music and architecture share as architects and a music historian contribute to the discussion between the performances of the movements.

DVD Volume 2 - Suite #3- '''Falling Down Stairs''', directed by [[Barbara Willis Sweete]]. Yo-Yo Ma collaborates with [[Mark Morris (choreographer)|Mark Morris]] to create a dance for the Third Suite. The film opens with Morris expressing reservation about interpreting the work as [[choreographer]], which he feels is less than the interpretation of a musical performer like Yo-Yo. Yo-Yo assures Morris that his interpretation is valid. Over the course the film Morris works with his troupe and then with Yo-Yo to create a dance. The title, as Morris explains, comes from a dream he had where he saw one of his dancers falling down a flight of stairs in time with the opening scale of the Suite.

DVD Volume 2 - Suite #4- '''Sarabande''', directed by [[Atom Egoyan]]. A drama movie featuring Yo-Yo Ma, Egoyan's wife [[Arsinée Khanjian]] and Fame star [[Lori Singer]]. Perhaps the most enigmatic of the films in the series, Sarabande, as Egoyan explains in his interview for the series, came out of his meeting Yo-Yo to begin working on the film. Egoyan came to realize the relation that he and Yo-Yo had as listener and performer when Yo-Yo played for him. The film explores the relationships that a limousine driver, a doctor, and a real estate agent have amongst each other and with Yo-Yo as he travels to [[Canada]] to perform the Suites.

DVD Volume 3 - Suite #5- '''Struggle for Hope''', directed by [[Niv Fichman]]. Yo-Yo travels to Japan to work with "his favorite [[Kabuki]] actor" [[Bandō Tamasaburō]] to choreograph a dance for the Fifth Suite. The process is not always easy as Bandō finds himself struggling to express emotion while keeping up with the tempo of the suite, especially in the Allemande movement. However, with guidance from Yo-Yo, the completed piece is an exquisite work that takes the viewer through a range of emotions from lamenting to denial and dreaming all through the movements and gestures of a master Kabuki actor and the playing of Yo-Yo Ma.

DVD Volume 3 - Suite #6- '''Six Gestures''', directed by [[Patricia Rozema]]. Rozema and Yo-Yo explore the life of Bach when he wrote the Cello Suites with the help of ice dancers [[Jane Torvill]] and [[Christopher Dean]] as well as [[Tom McCamus]], who plays Bach. Each of the movements of the Suite is equated to a gesture. The movements begin with McCamus as Bach narrating events in his life, setting the stage for Torvill and Dean to portray the particular gesture involved on ice. Over the course of the film we see Bach encounter joy at having the freedom to do "music for music's sake", question whether he is growing more isolated from the world-at-large, suffer the waning attentions of his patron, and grieve the loss of a wife.
