I grew up playing the 'cello.

And as anyone who has spent any time playing the 'cello, I played the Bach 'Cello Suites.

Maybe more than any other group of pieces in the world, these 6 pieces are in my ears, fingers, and psyche.

But never, not ever, have I dreamed of playing those pieces like this.

Make sure to pay special attention at 3:21. THAT is something I did (and still do) dream of doing.
