I'm listening to some cello pieces by one of Bach's composer sons, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach. He seems to have enjoyed composing for cello (who wouldn't?).

Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach - Cello concerto A minor, 1st movement
Peter Bruns, cellist
A frenzied, slightly moody movement that is quite nice, I feel, but long, long, long:



Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach - Cello Concerto in A Major, Wq. 172, 1st movement
Caroline Dale, cellist, who plays beautifully
A stately, content movement:



Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach - Cello Concerto in A Major, Wq. 172 - 3. Allegro assai
A pleasant, happy movement:
