In fact, when I want to listen to the Bach Unaccompanied Sonatas and Partitas, I usually reach for J-Fi's account on Pentatone, in all its 5.1 glory - the violin is always centered right in front of me, and I feel that I'm in the environment where she made the recording rather than in my own living room.
Follow Ups:
Is the center channel the primary channel in this 5.1 recording? Or do L/C/R share the burden almost equally? Or..?

. . . in the sense that they all contribute to the sense of placement within the original acoustic. However, you're right in supposing that the center channel is primary. BTW, I believe I was wrong in calling this a 5.1 channel recording - I think all the Pentatones are 5.0. (And besides, the .1 channel wouldn't have a lot to do on a recording of a solo violin anyway!)
