It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Starker/Mercury "soundstage"

I have the Starker/Mercury recordings on SACD. These were 3-channel originals, and when you listen to the surround layer, the cello is lifesize (not bigger) and dead-on-center in front of you. I like the performances, too. Unfortunately, copies of the SACDs now sell for outrageuos sums (and I'm hanging onto my copy).

Nobody's mentioned the Jian Wang set on DG. a fabulous performance by an artist that is too little known: http://www.arkivmusic.com/classical/album.jsp?album_id=93709

And some other favorites of mine: Anner Bylsma's second recording of the suites, and EDGAR MEYER (I wish he'd record the other three suites on double bass).
