My god you are a bunch os snobs biggering about who or what version is better, just look listen and enjoy the darkness in yourself........
-
I love Bach's music...It is so dark...I just love it
-
OMG this is actually good- compared to his CD!
-
Ma's interpretation is better than Maisky's in my opinion. More depth and deliberation. Mischa rushes through the Prelude.
In any case, Rostropovich's (and even Tortelier's) versions are far superior, especially Rostropovich's 1956 Vanguard recording. His 1995 EMI full set recording though, is sub-par.

@aram01201 The resonance sets the mood of the piece. Yo-yo Ma is very mindful to not let any of the notes melt too much with each other... As for the "commercial setting", I believe that it makes perfect sense. Such a solemn piece with many pulls and tears, the setting only intensifies this; matching the sight with sound. Its as if he wants us to feel the pain of being alone and closed off from the world. Its, in my opinion, perfect!

I really don't like the resonance of the building he plays in. It's a very commercial setting: he on his own playing like for no one but himself, it doesn't make any sense to me.
-
I don't think this is YO-YO MA, its not in tune....
-
I like how he dropped the tuning to match the time period. It really threw me for a loop at first though. The first note, I was like "That's not a D..." lol

I too prefer Maisky's version over this one, though I don't think Yo-Yo Ma lacks passion by any means. Maisky's interpetation just gets to me on a different level. But hey, it's great to have so many colossal musicians playing these beautiful pieces, 'cause every one is going to approach a unique and genius view on them.
Too bad people are always gonna bitch about who's "better" or not.
