J. S. Bach - Partita n. 1 in B Flat Major BWV 825 - 5. Menuett I & II (5/6)

Wow, what playing. I love his use of the buff stop in the Menuet da capo.

I cannot remember the first menuet. It's too hard!!! :((

A wonderful minuet, amazingly played. I still haven't listened to a lot of different versions, but my favourite so far is by Paul Badura-Skoda, highly recommendable.

Try finding the one by Masaaki Suzuki (student of Ton Koopman and director of Tokyo Bach Collegium), it's very good (it's not on youtube but its on itunes). Although Pinnock's is great, Suzuki applies a lot more rubato, articulation and ornamentation on the repeats. Even a hint of "notes inegale". It might even be seen by some as a little over the top but well worth listening to.
