| randerse10 | Posted: Aug 25, 2011 - 04:13 Ahhhh . . . so nice to hear someone who can make Bach come alive. Bach is wasted on beginning music students. :) |

This entire suite is, for me, the best piece of music I've yet heard. couldn't agree more with you!... the version by Carlos Prieto is just full of feeling and sentiment! |

| mooblie | Posted: Jun 08, 2010 - 13:02 Didn't Genesis pinch this tune for one of their songs? (Or vice versa?) "Horizons", from Foxtrot, if you ask me... I think I prefer this version. —— Edit - OK, this was spotted in 2007... |

| asbellem (toronto) | Posted: Oct 16, 2008 - 10:43 I saw him live in Toronto, wow, it made me want to either give up the guitar or try a LOT harder, he was awesome. |
| secretsauce | Posted: Sep 14, 2008 - 19:41 I feel really lucky to have seen him live in the patio of a coffee shop in Santa Cruz. |
