Bought this earlier on at Tower Records, it's kinda love at the first sight. (actually I was looking for Yo Yo Ma's)
Then when I DSK this CD's info, found that
1) He recorded it at the age of 70
2) This is his fifth recording of the same suites
3) It earned him a Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Soloist Performance (without orchestra) in 1998
4) This imported CD is selling cheaper here than Amazon.com!
5) The reviews in Amazon.com are mostly positive, with some say it's better than Yo Yo Ma's!
I agreed with some of them. Yo Yo Ma's edition in 1983 sounds flatter than Janos (in another words, Janos' is livelier)
While my sister said this music is dull (Cello solo), I enjoyed listening it, giving it a 5/5 rating 
Listen one of the track: BWV 1007: Prelude, HERE
