I thought this recording of the 6th was great, very intimate with lots of chamber-like textures and generally taken at a slower pace than I'm used to. The 7th is less stellar — feels disconnected and unfluid.

The Naxos Sibelius series is extremely fine - that Icelandic orchestra really know their stuff I agree that it works best with the early and middle works, though, there is a certain rawness that brings out the structure and excitement.

In the repeat mode, recordings from the 60/70.

How suite it is! Bach cello Schiff...

A nice sturdy & "digging" performance this, maybe sometimes a bit too straight but good performances are thin on the ground.

Are they really?

[Herman]

Three Sonatas for Violin Solo (nrs. 2, 4 & 7) by Max Reger, by Ulrike-Anima Mathé (on Dorian).

I may even listen to the cd with the other solo sonatas tonight.

The toccatas on harpsichord? I thought so, or do you have a suggestion?

How do you like it?  It is next on my list of Bach Cello Suites to purchase, but I've only heard the Amazon samples.

Frrom the top  of my head:

Trevor Pinnock (Archiv), Menno van Delft (Brilliant), Crisrtiane Jaccottet (Amado), Leon  Berben (don´t recall the label), Blandine Rannou (zig-zag), et.c et.c.
