It's obvious you don't know your history. These suites were written down. Bach was a known improviser but he did not improvise what is documented. By nature of his work he needed to write down music every week. Lutheran chorales and cantatas are not exactly improvisable music. In addition he played klavier. Not Cello. As to whether he even wrote these is disputed. At any rate this is not improvised music. Everybody knows that you damn spam goblin.

It is a bad habit of mine to judge each suite by its Sarabande (or equivalent) - so I must say, I am quite the fan of suite no. 3. Maisky plays it beautifully, along with all of the other movements and suites that he plays :) Another wonderful recording Mr. Maisky! Bravo

@41hz Actually, you are correct in all matters except for the fact we do indeed know that these were written by JS Bach. A copy written by his own (disorganized) hand was discovered in Leipzig among the affairs of his son, Carl Phillip Bach, along with dozens of portraits and correspondences. I know this because i have just visited the Bach Museum in Leipzig ;) If you're interested they have a complete repertoire of all of his known compositions.

@41hz and apologies for responding to a 3 year old post, but as important as it is to revere history, I think it's also important to keep minds open to creative possibilities especially when it comes to something like music.  In any case, enjoy the music--cheers!

@41hz Sure, the music was structurally pre-meditated and written down, but let's not deny that fluent improvisation was valued even then--organists (esp. students of Bach) were regularly expected to improvise with sound counterpoint given only the chord progression. It follows to reason from the repeats in many baroque pieces would withstand improvisation from fine musicians--at minimum in their ornamentation--then and now. Indeed that's part of what we hear from many great performers today.
