Your favorite Cello recording

Hi, I like smooth, sweet, and deep sound from Cello. I enjoy Bach's Cello suites by Rostropovitch and Starker. Of course, some of YoYo Ma's recordings. Could anyone suggest his/her most favorite Cello recordings? Thanks.

EMI 7243 5 66954 2. The recording isn't the best but the tone of the cello interplay with the violin and orchestra is heart stopping beautiful. The overall interpretation is considered one of the absolute best on disk.

And yes the CD reissue doesn't capture the beautiful tone in the second movement but it has to be the original Living Stereo vinyl. The vinyl reissue is worse than the CD.
