I heard Arrau live 4-5 times , left me wanting no other .
I had the Schiff cello sonatas and you are spot on jim.
These days i do listen to the profoundly of Fournier because he relaxes me .A great one by Maria Kliegel playing a Strad cello On Naxos seems near flawless to me . Like everything recorded in Budapest , ditto for the sound .
I don’t recall hearing the suites in person , but for me the greatest recording is Anner Blylsma on period instrument .
