	Sonatas for Viola da Gamba and Harpsichord by Pablo Casals at jsbach.org
		Pablo Casals is acknowledged as not only a master of the 'cello, but as a musician of great sensitivity and insight, especially in his Bach performances.
		This recording, in spite of its age (which means that Casals' cello tone is imperfectly conveyed, and that the orchestral sound lacks clarity) testifies to the freshness, passion, and profundity of Casals' Bach performances.
		It may not be for everyone -- for one thing, Casals is, indeed, anachronistic in playing the viola da gamba sonatas on 'cello -- but it offers not only an interesting illustration of how Bach was once played, but an insightful series of Bach performances that, for all of their seriousness, are also fun.

		Until Casals proved otherwise, few believed that these unaccompanied solos could actually be performed as written; many composers and editors tried their hand at adding piano or harpsichord accompaniments, with ludicrous results to modern ears.
		Casals conducts the Bach Concerti and Suites as he [Casals] plays the Bach Sonatas: with vim, vigor, and vitality; with rhythm, color, and accent; with dash, esprit, and intellect.
		Casals was one who INSISTED on playing Brahms (another such was Arthur Rubinstein), and indeed he would even sit in the orchestra and play the cello solo in third movement the Second Piano Concerto, something a world-famous soloist wouldn't ordinarily do.
