Need a Recommendation for Classical Cello...

Hello.

I am interested in locating some recordings (CD Only, please) of performances of unaccompanied cello. I obtained a recording of Bach's Cello Suites (1 - 6) but am looking for something a little different.

I am hoping to find something that is less 'busy' as these selections. Something haunting or melancholy. If this exists (By any composer) please let me know.

Also, I hope to find a recording of an acoustic cello, not electric.

Thanks very much!

Highly recomended (seconded) Les Voix Humaines (not cello, but Viola da Gamba).

On the same note:
Marin Marais: Pièces de Viole du Second Livre, 1701 and Mr. de Sainte Colombe le Fils: Pièces de Viole (I purchased the two in a boxed set), also performed by Jordi Savall. Though not cello, I think this is just what you are looking for...haunting and beautiful.
