In the middle ages the Mellon was a statement of absolute luxury. People didn't eat them. Wealthy people or businesses would rent them to people for parties and the guest would simply stare in amazement. Not sure if anyone actually got to eat them before they rotted...
Why all that stop-and-go in the Prélude? (I don't think that a long legato line is, in and of itself, un-Baroque.) Things do start looking up afterwards, however, beginning with the admirably-played Allemande..
David Steven Tabbat incorrect my dear sir, the baroque bow did not allow the player to sustain sound through the tip, the artist here is recreating an authentic sound.
@@user-ok6ef9zn4f Bach was a great composer, one of the best-- why do you think we still play his suites today? They are technical and musical masterpieces that are open to all sorts of interpretation; and all the possibilities for rhythmic phrasing to keep the music interesing is what allows everyone to have their own interpretation - kind sir, it's called rubato -_- . I don't understand how things up to interpretation = a lost composer.

I know there are bassists watching this
just know someone out there feels your pain
John Mietus you heard Edgar Meyer playing them on bass?
How about Joel Quarrington playing Bach's 6th Cello Suite? ua-cam.com/video/D0wPe5wccQk/v-deo.html
Hasn't he recorded the suites twice?

@@user-ok6ef9zn4f I thought it is because only rough manuscripts of the suites survive and not the originals written by Bach?
@@user-ok6ef9zn4f you're lost, that's deeply stupid
@@user-ok6ef9zn4f it's pretty sad to say that "Bach was lost and didn't know where to end"
