Then you have no appreciation for music whatsoever.

Maisky's version is not THAT jumpy. Like around 0:13 to 0:16, Rostropovich makes it stand out MUCH better. The fact that a gigue should sound like a dance mvt is the LEAST important fact to consider here. In addition, Rostro. is not using legato, probably the opposite. He tried to creat spaces without stacatto. There should be a balance between 'jumpy' and flow. I can see your viewpoint clearly but a gigue should not sound like a gigue, but an interpretation.

Rostropovich's interpretation doesn't sound like a Gigue at all. Too much legato, a Gigue isn't supposed to flow, it has to be jumpy and pointy. I've never heard of Maiski until today, but I think he's doing a great job in showing us what a Gigue is supposed to sound like. If you look at what the dance steps look like, you will understand that Rostropovich's rendition has missed the point entirely. It may sound nice, but it's not a Gigue.

One of the things that I like about Maisky is that all of his interpretations of these suites is that his way of playing them gives them a common ground, whereas the individual pieces are quite different from each other and are very individualistic.

Great bowing but I've seen better. Personally I'll stick to Rostropovich for this piece. Maisky's is too romantic and not enough rhythm. The bowing helps out but not enough. Rostropovich clearly shows spaces in an unexaggerated manner. This is all my opinion of course so no flaming please.
