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.

Beethoven Cello Sonatas with Rostropovich and Richter.

Leonard Rose playing anything-the Tchaikovsky Rococo Variations will do for starters.

Janos Starker (and Shigeo) play 'Romantic Cello Favorites' by David Popper. Old(er) digital Disc by Delos.

A new(er) Decca CD of Barber's Cello Sonata and Rachmaninoff's Cello Sonata and some misc works by both, played by some new and excellent talent, i.e. brother and sister duo Sheku & Isata- Kanneh  Mason. FWIW Isata also has a compilation disc for solo piano, 'Summertime', which includes music by Gershwin, Barber, Beach, Copland, and Coleridge-Taylor, that is easy to recommend!
