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.

It's the Heifetz/Piatigorsky/Wallenstein from RCA's past Soria series. If your looking for it, don't go for any reissue. Buy an original copy. Listen especially to the second movement--oh that autumnal nostalgia !

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.
