Your favorite J.S. Bach

Brandenburg Concerto No. 3, Pinnock/English Concert, Archiv 2742003

Cello Suite No 2 in d, Starker, Mercury SR3-9016

--fifth brandenburger
--musical offering
--d minor concerto for two violins
--two part inventions(because of the sweat it cost me to learn to play a few of them)

Only Toccatta and Fugue in D minor.
The rest of Bach puts me well asleep:-)

Christopher Herrick playing the Trio Sonatas on the organ (Hyperion CD). I once asked him which of the trio sonatas was his favorite, and his response was "Whichever one I'm playing at the time!".

In recent weeks, the CD player has been repeatedly spinning two recordings of Bach on modern piano:

* Angela Hewitt's glorious performance of the Toccatas (on Hyperion)
* Andras Schiff's probing new recording of the Goldberg Variations (on ECM)
