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

Casals' recording is no match to Staker's. I have both.
The thing is, most Bach solo cello suite records are very expensive and sought after, especially those with good recording quality. For example, Starker's mono recording costs over $500. It is great that now we have Starker's stereo recording reissue at under $100.
