Apropos of unaccompanied Bach, I am rapidly becoming a fan of:

It’s a great rec, but I have to confess that I don’t think anyone’s rec is nearly as good as Heifetz’s. He uses such a variety of tone, and it’s very emotional. I actually think people have unfairly given heifetz the reputation of being soul-less.
I agree - Heifetz is amazing, but his Bach just isn’t that great… for me anyway. Of course his playing is stunning, but it’s less about Bach and more about Heifetz.
I have to agree, Heifetz’s Bach isn’t too Bach… It’s like what Horowitz does with everything on piano.
ah nice performance of the Chaconne,
thanks,
and agreed, new Chaconne recs are always refreshing.
