ricardienneI was listening to the Casals suites the other day, and he does this most amazing thing in the G major Gigue: he syncopates it and makes it sound almost like a courante. I like it a lot, although I don't think there is anything to justify it -- less even than Anner Bylsma's incredible-cool a-flat in the final cadence of the E-flat Gigue -- this would be an interesting thing to research, though.
This is (the important part of) his articulation:
The paired lines show a slight portato-y thing to distinguish the notes. The long lines sound like real ties.
Here is the audio (I'm not sure why it claims this is the "D major" suite. It isn't. And here is Anner Bylsma, who is performing in semi-period style, doing the same for comparison.
