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

The only rival to Fournier for me is Starker with his many versions....

I had a listen to Wispelwey version #3 from 2012. They are quite idiosyncratic performances. I think Starker would make a great foil to this.

Fournier very sober and spiritual rendering is my favorite....If sound matter the most, try Queyras another french master....

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

Yes, in these times I prefer familiar music, or at least music not too strident or challenging. I'm listening to less Shostakovich and other 20th century composers; more to Haydn, Mozart, Schubert, and Bach.

It is striking how much my taste for music has contracted, with all the external chaos.

Thanks Mike. Great information. In these crazy times, I really enjoy listening to the many different performances of these pieces.  I’m listening to the 2012 Wispelwey performance now...I think that’s the most recent one you suggested...and liking it very much for both the performance and sound.  I recommend it to anyone who wants to lay back and relax.  

I don’t know that "best" has a meaning in this case. There are various schools of performance, ranging from quite HIP (historically influenced performance) to romantic. What’s best? What you like! Part of the genius of this music is that it can be played in various ways and still sounds like the masterpiece it is.

That said, the sound on the Casals versions is bad enough that I don’t enjoy them.

I suggest you start with the 2000 performance on BIS by Torleif Thedeen. It has BIS’s usual excellent sound and a judicious -- but not boring -- performance.

For definitive performances is good sound, try Starker on RCA or Mercury. For really great HIP versions, try Bylsma on Sony or his student Wispelwey. ("Student" in the sense that Beethoven was Haydn’s student.) Wispelwey has a three versions, but he's a great cellist, so they all should be good. I'd be inclined to start with the latest one.

For well played performances in audiophile resonant sound, try Rosen on John Marks Records and Watkin on Resonus.

Have fun!
