Help me find violin and cello related

Ok, so I am looking for a few albums. I am looking specifically for something with Violin that has that spooky almost make you want to cry presence.

On cello, I am looking for something that has that kind of depth in the recording where you can tell the cello was set back from the mic and you get the sense that it was recorded in like a large old castle or large hall.

Any ideas?

Lara St. John, Bach Works for Solo Violin

Vengerov Plays Bach, Shchedrin, Ysaye

Les Voix Humaines, Jordi Savall (not violin or cello, but you'll get the connection when you hear it)

Martin Zeller, Bach: 6 Cello Suites

I was pleased to see Rushton's mention of Hindemith. Please give a listen to his, "Concerto for Violin and Orchestra" (1939). It is well represented on YouTube. Also, consider Ralph Vaughan Willams', "The Lark Ascending".

I guess it depends on whether you like the music as these are very specific content, but both are excellent recordings and performances (violin):

Songs My Mother Taught Me, Arturo Delmoni
