Off the topic, but I have a cello friend and client, who spent a few 
evenings recording some Bach cello suites on her own (I set up the gear 
and she pushed her own buttons over a number of late night solo 
sessions - I get to edit and master it). When I asked her why another 
set of the suites, she said she just needs to play them and sella few 
copies at concerts.

I asked he what she thought of Yo Yo Ma's versions, which I listen to 
now and then, and she said, well, I studied under him for five years 
and I want to do it a bit differently... I was impressed that she did 
not say "Better" and that she saw hundereds of his performances from 
the front few rows...

I did not mention Casals, ecept when she got distressed over how nicely 
her breathing got recorded. She relaxed then.

Anyway, as a performer she just has to do it. Whether a record company 
would release it is another matter!
