Bach suites for solo cello-best Tidal or Qobuz recording?

There are about 70 recordings of Bach’s solo cello suites on Tidal and Qobuz. Some are by famous performers...Ma, Starker, Dupre, Casals, Rostropovich, Harrell. Others are by lesser known but excellent cellists.  They can be very different in both performance and recording quality.  I’m interested in performances that are the best in both respects. Would welcome suggestions.

I agree with @mike_in_nc :
There are various schools of performance, ranging from quite HIP (historically influenced performance) to romantic. 

While I may listen to different recordings for different purposes, my personal favorite is Yo-Yo Ma’s complete cello suites. I don’t have Quboz or Tidal, so here is a Primephonic link: https://play.primephonic.com/album/886447042472
