Best Vinyl Bach - Solo Cello Suites recording?

Hi All,

Been looking for this out on the bay, but there are so many, i'm not sure which is best. I've already read that Starkers interpretation is the "best" -- that is, most accurate, lively, etc. I'm not after this though -- I want the "best" recording of it. Starkers version is $100+ for a 3lp set, Casals 25-50, YoYoMa $70ish. Do you have any experience with these recordings? What are your thoughts?

Thx,
mm

As an atheist and someone who is devoutly anti religion, I can also appreciate music by superstitious 18th century musiciansÂ…it's easy.

I own Heinrich Schiff but on CD's by EMI. I have no idea
if this performance is available on LP's. This recording is
made in 1985 so it should be possible.

Nadric, I have the Schiff too , never saw it on vinyl.
Good performance, but EMI overdid the reverb IMO.

Hi Wolf_Garcia, I am atheist also but without the
church assignments there would be no Bach, Michelangelo
and many other works of art. It is not the intention but the result that counts.

Addendum. Compare whatever statue of Lenin with Michelangelo's Adam to see the light.
