Agreed that there are finer recordings of unaccompanied Bach. Notably Milstein and Szeryng. A lot more depth, which I believe originates from the grittiness of their tone (it's not as neat and tidy, but I find this music demands some edge). Unbroken chords in Bach's solo works need bite, and a lot of newer artists shy away from this. You hear that tendency in Hilary Hahn's recordings as well as Julia Fischer's. But these are still fine recordings.
