Let's talk music, no genre boundaries

I have seen all the versions of The Bridge and also like the Swedish one best. (Or is it Danish?) I have also watched Patience and like it. I have not idea where they found such a pretty, telegenic woman on the spectrum to play Patience, but it works.I will try Professor T. I just paid for the PBS lecture series and listened to a bunch on quantum physics. I got to about episode 10 and it was too much work to watch anymore, but I think I got the gist. I am now reading a book about consciousness and I am glad I just learned about quantum physics because I'd got lost without that knowledge.

One old version of Starker and Fournier  are my two ultimate cello Bach...

Here Starker is magnificent like Milstein for the violin...

But i link Fournier  with Szeryng  then it is my best one  ever , there is a pulse behind Fournier  almost like the one with Szeryng......

By the way for the violin concertos i will die with one version only, i did not even kept any other version  since 50 years , for the same reason behind my other choices, musical time born from inside the playing not  imposed from outside on the playing... it is not the best orchestral version but i dont mind...Grumiaux  sing and speak ... His sonatas and partitas were surpassed by others but not his concertos for violins playing ...Just thinking  about it made me feel wings ...it is incredible...

For Bach’s Cello Suites I purchased a recording by Starker. I read that he plays without vibrato (although I probably wouldn’t have noticed on my own). He has a strong determined voice, whereas Yo-Yo Ma seems more fluid. I have streamed Alisa Wielerstein but still have not heard enough to have an opinion.

Another one I would recommend for Bach Cello suites is Hidemi Suzuki. His playing is exceptional and the sound quality on the SACD makes it even more sumptuous.

Suzuki Bach Cello

Thanks i never listen Suzuki ... I will correct that ...

I will stream Suzuki tomorrow. The cello deserves speakers that go down below 80Hz. The youtube sample sounded excellent, though.
