More on Pierre Fournier and Bach

As promised, here's a YouTube page with lots of fun stuff, including a live clip of Fournier playing the Sarabande from suite No. 3....

Another thought I forgot to mention: I once read that Pablo Casals practiced the suites for thirty years before he felt ready to play them in public.  I still have yet to hear his recording (from, I think, about 1936).
