Wang Jian's Bach

I bought his Bach's suite yesterday and listened to the first disc last night. Wang managed to produce some very good sound but his interpretation was not particularly inspiring. The slow movements dragged on a little bit. I wasn't moved by his playing. Somehow I think Bach's suite can only be played well if you experience enough. Of all the versions, my favourite is still Maisky's 1st recording.
