Henryk Szeryng - Partita No.2 (Allemande) This is quite interesting. You have to back to the 1960s to find a Bach recording that is at the tempo that I took mine (moderate) Szeryng is a Bach expert. For my tastes, he uses too much of the constant or continuous vibrato for Bach though, just as the romantic players got into eventually. But other than that, it is straightforward, excellent classical violin playing. Good tone and intonation. But one can see the tempo relationship to mine easily here as opposed to modern day interpretations like Hahn and Vengerov having it half as slow into a Largo or even Grave tempo and mood. I use less vibrato, only using vibrato as color and ornament - how I think it should be applied not to just Bach but to all music - not using vibrato an overall tone or sound production that is continuous. Bach did not use any vibrato himself. Of course I change the bowings, articulations, dynamics, tempo variation, added doublestops in my arrangement of the piece - to suit my own compositional abilities with the music. youtube/watch?v=1NdZTNk2MMw You decide what you like better - Szeryngs or mine since at least it is the same tempo and not worlds apart like the Grave versions out there.
