Poll Six Suites for Solo Cello, but which cellist?One of my favorite Monty Python bits as a child was Pablo Casals leaping from on high into a bucket of boiling fat while playing music. So there is that--though of course it wasn't really Casals playing two bars of music and then screaming followed by a squelching noise

Casals' recording of the cello suites, even in mono, kicks the ass of Yo-Yo's recording. It has all this cool ornamentation and just a huge amount of energy.

I do vaguely recall it being very passionate. But I only own the Yo-Yo Ma version which I like quite a bit. :)

Muahahaha. I own both, plus part of Rostrapovich, and I'm fixing to buy Patricia McCarty's version on viola as well.

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! BACH!

Well, Yo Yo Ma was on Arthur, so that does it for me.
