I love the English Suites, and this is a great gigue. (I like the whole idea of "giguedom"). Great performance. I've got the entire suite playing now and am enjoying your balanced yet appropriately expressive playing. It's a real joy hearing you!

If you listen to only one dance, go to the Courante at 8:18.
