This movement is incredible on the cello piccolo! Bach's music is so versatile, but it doesn't withstand the test of modern instruments: his melodies become stifled by the very focused tone of metal strings which are perfect for Brahms, but for such a piece as this they are overwhelming next to the breadth of tone allowed for by gut. Thank you for posting this arrangement!

Typically, the tuning for the 5 string cello piccolo is C2-G2-D3-A3-E4 (scientific pitch notation). The original piece for violin ranges between G#3 and E6. Bylsma played it an octave lower here (G#2 to E5, like you probably can do using your standard cello C2-G2-D3-A3 tuning).
Since the standard tuning for violin is G3-D4-A4-E5, baroque cello players often used 4 string cello piccolos tuned G2-D3-A3-E4 with or instead of C2-G2-D3-A3 tuned cellos. Nevertheless, a cello can be used.
