However, the 4th movement ended while I was typing; now Nathan Milstein is playing the amazing fifth movement "Partita No. 2 in D minor for Solo Violin, BWV 1004, V. Ciaccona"

IMO, Nathan Milstein is greatest performer of Bach's Partitas and Sonatas. Yes, he played them better (at least for my taste) than Henryk Szeryng, Itzhak Perlman, and Arthur Grumiaux...

I do not think anyone would argue the greatness of Milstein, or his interpretations of Bach's work.

He was brilliant well into his 80's.

On a side note, there have been more people posting recently from Houston (or near) the last few weeks. I'm in Houston every month. We need to schedule an off-line soon.
