Check out Janos Starker's digital recording of Bach cello suites. a lesser known artist but fantastic Bach violin solo works is by Mela Tenenbaum.
CPdunn, I agree with you about Pletnev, I heard his mozart the other night, very good.
as for st john, she was at her most stunning while she was in school, much better than she is now, trust me, I heard it. It was shocking. compared to then, she has become a little homogenized.
check out fournier and kempff doing beethoven cello sonatas. totally enjoyable. you'll have to look a little for this one, avoid the fournier/schnabel which isn't really as successful.
