Christian Jüttendonk (Cello)

Born: 1957 - Bochum, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany

The German cellist, Christian Jüttendonk, studied at the Musikhochschule Köln and Musikhochschule Düsseldorf. Early in his career,, while trying to find new ways of interpreting early music, he was already excited about sound experiments and an unusually clear pronunciation of well-known works. It is not the portrayal of one's own feelings of pain, but the pursuit of the composer's heart and thus the stepping back behind the work, that is his goal.

Christian Jüttendonk's activities in the Radio Symphony Orchestra Luxembourg (now Orchestre Philharmonique du Luxembourg) allows him both a solos engagement as well as other tasks in the educational and creative field. He is the author of the Die Basis study program, a volume of daily exercises for violoncello with a novel working concept. He recorded J.S. Bach's complete Suites for solo cello (BWV 1007-1012) in 1996 on an Italian violoncello by Scuola Testore.
