Is it still Perlman? I'm almost sure it is.
The first one is Perlman. The second is Podger. There are other acoustical differences between the two performances besides use of vibrato of course. Podger uses gut strings rather than metal and different sort of bow. I explained these different issues in this old thread here: http://atheistforums.org/thread-12825.html
Interestingly, there's a recording of this piece from 1904 by a famous violinist who had the prime of his career in the late 19th century. Still far removed from Bach's time of course but you can hear the variable use of vibrato.
