I have spent many years with the Tortelier recordings of Bach's cello suites. I came across them as a student and spent the following few hours glued to them in the college library. I recently bought Steven Isserlis's Hyperion recording of the same, and would recommend them. He is less stern than Tortelier, but not at the expense of depth.
I have the Podger/Manze Bach too, though haven't heard the English Consort for comparison.

Massive soundstage during the Allegro (The 9th of January) and the Allegro non troppo (Tocsin) - an incredible recording and in my opinion a great test of what your deck and phono stage can do, it absolutely trashes the CD version.

I'm used to analog recordings on vinyl trashing their CD versions, but it still surprises me when a digital recording sounds better on vinyl than on CD.
My only recording of Shosty 11 is Stokowsi conducting the Houston Symphony. I adore Haitink and the Concertgebouw's recording of No. 8, and I would love to hear their complete cycle on vinyl.
