You are right about Bach's Six Suites. I have played them - obviously not as eloquently as Yo Yo Ma - and they are so modern! Mathematical & expressive. Terribly difficult in some places but you look at the sheet music and say this should not be so tricky. Bow technique! So much not on the down beat some movements feel like you never exhale.
