Yes! The Gavotte en Rondeau from the 3rd Partita is probably my favorite Bach piece, beating out even the cello suites. Here's a lovely performance by Kavakos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNy9fH7VaV4

He was just in Toronto earlier in the year and played the entire Sonatas and Partitas in back to back concerts on sequential days. Spectacular.

Interestingly, his encores were just to replay a movement of Bach. I mean, after that, what else?

Hilary Hahn did the same thing a few years ago. In one case, played a movement from a sonata that wasn't in the program, and in another replayed a movement from earlier. Both very interesting, and fantastic performances!
