It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

RE: I'd put Szigeti second, and quite close to first

Oistrakh did record the G Minor Sonata, BWV 1001. Enjoy it below. (Isn't youtube great?) Before the baroque revival, which reached full bloom in the 1960s, I don't think it was considered essential for every violinist to record all of them. I have a record of Szigeti doing two of them in the 1940s, but I think that was from a radio recital. You can hear him tuning between movements. Ossy Renardy recorded two of them for Decca in 1950.

I think Szeryng's great 1954 set on Odeon had a major impact, and of course a number of great complete sets soon followed that one.
