 * Nominate and Support:  S ven M anguard   Wha?  18:58, 15 January 2011 (UTC) Edit: As the rest was added, I Support All now.
 * Question Why are the rest of the Cello Suite not featurable? Why only the Prelude? Zginder 2011-01-20T00:21Z (UTC)
 * I asked Sven to nominate the prelude because that is the best known part of the suite. I did not mean to imply that the rest of it is not featurable. Raul654 (talk) 18:13, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
 * We can include the rest, it's certainly good work, however I do note that only the prelude appears on Cello, so it is likely that Raul's assessment is correct on the comparative... umm... 'known-ness'.  S ven M anguard   Wha?  02:21, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
 * The prelude is most certainly the most famous. However the whole suite seems to be good work so I would say include it all.  Jujutacular  talk 16:09, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I transcluded the whole thing over here, and amended my nomination to extend support to all.  S ven M anguard   Wha?  18:10, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Support all superb performance, high quality recording.  Jujutacular  talk 00:49, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Support—Oh yes, this guy is good, even if it's on modern cello, not the original instrument Bach wrote for. Tony   (talk)  13:14, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Support all a high quality performance, even if there is the occasional mis-bowed and mis-tuned note. I can forgive the echo too - it sounds too much like it's been recorded in a hallway, and doesn't have the intimate sound which I would prefer. For all that, it's a fine set and should be made featured sounds. He does take the prelude at a fair lick too - faster than YoYo Ma or Casals for example. I don't think that diminishes the recording though.Major Bloodnok (talk) 21:20, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
