Bach's solo sonatas for violin played in period style
I need some advice on recordings here! Was in a church yesterday and a violinist played the Allemande from the D minor partita in a style that was very folky and I was very moved. I don't have any recordings of this kind, and don't know of any, so I need some advice as to what violinists have done these in that kind of style. Pretty sure it's period style. Can, but doesn't need to be on a period instrument.
I have a movement from a cello suite played by Jordi Savall. That style.
Thanks.

Not 'period' style. Gypsy style.

Not what I was looking for, but I like it anyways. Thanks for the recommendation.
Edit: Her playing style could work well in a church.
My request and plea for help still stands.

Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working.
Art is never chaste. It ought to be forbidden to ignorant innocents, never allowed into contact with
those not sufficiently prepared. Yes, art is dangerous. Where it is chaste, it is not art.

Thank you.

Elizabeth Wallfisch from Hyperion: 2CD for 1. Kind of on the soft site to my taste.

From the sleeve note:
Those pieces were performed at A = 400 Hz to keep with the early 18th century German tradition.

I prefer modern instruments, but here's a recording by Pavlo Beznosiuk on Linn SACD. You can play samples on their site:
