There is one out there, Pieter Wispelway.  I greatly admire, as list
members already know, his second recording of Bach's Cello suites.He
has also recorded both romantic and 20th-century music, all an d Channel
Classics, (www.channel.com).  I haven't heard any of this, but I think it
has been reviewed favourably.
