thanks for uploading that, david. i don't suppose you could upload the rest of that partita, could you? i've never heard milstein's interpretation, and i'd especially like to hear his take on the ciaccona. i've listened twice, and i'm not a huge fan of milstein's performance. i think it's too fast and aggressive, considering this is supposed to be a lighthearted dance. anyway, i really like this gigue. it's one of my favorite movements out of all the unaccompanied vln pieces.
here is hilary hahn's recording of the ciaccona:

i would've posted yehudi menuhin's, since his is my favorite, but apparently i have lost my cd.
edit: i was going to record my own version of it, but i opened my violin case to find my A string is broken! and i am without a spare! what kind of a violinist has a spare G string but no A ... sheesh.
