I saw your Viola joke, take a listen to this:

Tell me what you think of this Bach Cello suite, how high do rate the player?

The Bach... Well, it's technically well played (at least the part I have listened to; it stopped loading properly somewhere in the prelude, and I didn't have the patience to wait), but I find it hard to enjoy baroque music played in such a romantic way. That kind of interpretation was common fifty years ago, but it's a bit surprising to hear a young player play like that.
Shouldn't this thread be in the Culture forum?

Of course there is this hacker🙂 How does this guy stand up? Compared to a modern player like Yo Yo Ma.

Have you seen this one?

I thought it interesting his comment there was no staccato on cello in Bach's time.
I also found this one, must have been one of his last performances, at the UN:
