Pierre Fournier talks about the Bach Cello Suites during a live concert cycle in 1972. Fournier speaks in English for those of us not completely fluent in his native tongue, you know.
As far as I know the only one that has survived is for the 3rd suite. There is a recording by Peter Bruns and Roglit Ishay, which is on iTunes and cd. I was not able to find any sheet music during my short search, but it must exist somewhere.
Just out of curiosity - Does anyone know if the Schumann piano accompaniment he mentions has turned up since then?

I have about 20 seconds of Fournier speaking french, but it just repeats some of what he says here. Still, I could upload it if you would like.

The video of him speaking French is now up. It is titled "Pierre Fournier Speaks".
