Glenn Gould, of course.

Apsolutly!!

Althaught I like also Richter (WTK, Italian concerto..), Tureck (Partitas, Goldberg's, WTK), Andras Schiff (everything he recorded is superb!)
And this summer I listen a lot Fischer's WTK for Naxos, and this is so magical, almost misical, with total sense of Bach...
Martha Argerich also playes great Bach, she remind me on Gould..
Angela Hewit is of course one of the great living pianists whose Bach is also amazing.

János Sebestyén is an amazing bach performer and he is way underrated.

From that list Schiff is the greatest.

The masterpiece tell the performer what to do, and not the performer telling the piece what it should be like, or the cocomposer what he ought to have composed.
