Which one? I have 12 bows at the moment... should sell a few :-) In this recording, I use a baroque bow by my friend Pieter Affourtit, and it's very good. On some notes the cello is not speaking, and it is because the strings I was using were a bit on the thick side.
What's weird about the intonation? If you've ever had the opportunity to listen to music played on gut strings and at 415, you would understand that the intonation is in fact very good. Or perhaps you are "confused" by the quality of the recording?
Sure, I can't do it perfect in one go (can you?), so intonation problems and scratches happen from time to time. Btw, this is a baroque cello. It allows for faster tempi and better articulation than a modern cello, but it doesn't have a leg :-) So I'm holding the cello between my knees, as they did in the 18th century.
There are some intonacion mistakes, and sound is not such good in some places :) you are holding your cello in interesting way. I think that you need to put a longer leg for it, because it has to be a little bit farer from you. Good luck :)
slow down buddy!

Why too fast? How do you determine the right tempo?

way too fast, weird intonation. consider slowing down and playing the music not the notes
