@cl427x what I don't understand is yo-yo ma, playing Kodály one half step down
-
@volk410 There is nothing else beyond Maurice Gendron's version.

Goodnight !

I love this interpretation! I just wish the audio was a bit clearer :(

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous... my favorite movement from all six of the suites, and Jian Wang is possibly the best interpreter I've heard (and I've heard a lot). This music speaks for itself; it doesn't need a lot of vibrato. And it's not really tuned down a half-step; rather, he's tuned to A = 415 Hz, which is standard Baroque tuning, instead of our modern 440 Hz. It's almost exactly a half-step, though. I also notice that he's playing his 1622 Amati cello, not his David Wiebe.

I like it :) great feeling.
-
If his tuning is any evidence, he might be trying for a more authentic performance by playing how he thinks one would in Bach's time.

Why would you tune your strings down for the sixth suite? There's an abundance of places where you'd want to use open strings.

tuning it a half step down is a baroque thing... he didn't "copy" yo yo ma.

Baroque musicians didn't play with much vibrato, so this is staying true to how they would have played it.
I personally think that it sounds better with more vibrato also, but I still think that this is still beautiful and powerful without vibrato.
