Schöner Klang, gute Intonation, sinnvolle Phrasierung - obwohl man natürlich einiges anders machen könnte- das Tempo und den Ausdruck empfinde ich eher einem Arioso oder einer Fantasie angemessen als einem Präludium. Wenn das Tempo etwas schneller wäre, würde es leichter sein die Bassfortschreitungen und somit die Struktur des Satzes zu erkennen .
Your technique is fine, but you can do more with the music. First, you use the whole bow for everything, so there's only one dynamic level. Use less bow at times to make appropriate musical and dynamic contrasts to create interest and variety. Don't play everything legato. You should also understand that the modern cello and bow isn't the same as the baroque cello and bow in Bachs Day, which had a different setup and far less power and dynamic possibilities. The great Strad Cellos have all been completely upgraded since the eary 1700s with powerful metal strings for example. I know a lot of people take a baroque approach, but I don't feel it's appropriate with our modern setup. It's also obvious that the writing reflects keyboard and Organ patterns, because Bachs main job was as a Church organist, and the organ is much more powerful than the baroque cello was, so I think Bach was thinking ahead of his time and exploring what the cello could be capable of musically and expressively. Maybe you can consider these ideas and create more of an individual interpretation and with more variety. You're a fine talent, but it sounds too monotone, and you can do much more with the cello and the music. I personally feel it involves a compromise between our modern cello and the idea that in Bachs 'musical imagination' he was ahead of his time in exploring and stretching what the cello could be capable of in the future. Bach was clearly thinking ahead of his time. That's just my opinion, so you might study Bach and the development of the cello from the 1600s till today to come to your own unique approach. But it does need more variety and interest musically.
Really nice intonation. Loved it!
One of my favorites!
sounds amazing! the recording place and the echoes!
Good job 👍

More articulation would be nice.
