I prefer Wispelwey 3 to Wispelwey 2. I love the way Wispelwey punctuates the music with silences in 3, I think 3 is beautifully ornamented, rhythmically iinteresting, rhetorically eloquent. I could hear nothing so interesting in 2. And I love the cello he uses in 3.

I haven't heard Wispelwey 3, but take 2 was definitely for me a step down in comparison with take 1...
Though in all honesty Wispelwey did in  take 2 his own personal thing, while his 1st take still has the fingerprints of his teacher, Bijlsma, all over it...

Mandryka

I agree with this, at least if you mean Bylsma 1.

I wish there were recordings of the violin music as interesting as Wispelwey 3 and Bylsma 2.

Correctamundo!

The blind listening test meanwhile included this:


Bach
Cello Suites
Wispelwey 3


...whereas "Wispy 1" is this one:


Bach
Cello Suites
Wispelwey 1


Thank you for that clarification.

I often revisit this thread for listening ideas, but with so many recent releases I wonder how many of them would make the cut?
