What's the name of the classical piece that plays during the "Elisabet-staring-at-the-camera" scene in Ingmar Bergman's Persona? YouTube link inside.

Here's a YouTube clip of the scene in question: http://youtube.com/watch?v=c1Xrg9uw_8g

It's the adagio of Bach's "Concerto for violin, strings & continuo No. 2 in E major, BWV 1042". I recommend the Hilary Hahn version, which is fantastic.
