Official Classical Music Thread v.1: Lutz Kirchhof is God

[chickenluver]

I've been listening to only Bach for the last few days. I particularly like the Cello Suites. I've been trying to gather as many recordings as I can.

So far I've got

Pablo Casals
Pierre Fournier
Yo-Yo Ma (first recording)
Mstislav Rostropovich

I can't really say I've got a favorite. Hell, I can't even put them in any order whatsoever. Each is great in it's own way

Jacqueline Du Pre unfortunately only recorded the first 2 suites, but they're pretty good.



Not bad for a 17-year-old

Anybody have any other performances of these pieces they really like? Some others I've got my eye on are Janos Starker, Paul Tortelier, and the second Ma recording. I'm also interested in recordings on the guitar or the lute.

Hopkinson Smith's lute recordings of the Bach cello suites are amazing.

Found this really great arrangement of a familiar piece

Please ignore the picture, I picked it because I love this arrangement.
