Ramon Khalona responds to me concerning a Barbara Westphal performance:

Three or four months ago, I knew that I was receiving a complimentary copy
of Patricia McCarty's new recording of the Cello Suites. It was at that
time that I decided to review some different versions. I didn't want to go
with only one version on viola and knew that a local store had the Westphal
set on Bridge. Therefore, I bought it. In my sentence above, just
substitute viola for cello.
So, not only did I know it, I was the guy who told it to our readers in
my introduction to Part 1 of this review project; I have also mentioned
it at other points in my review.
