Bach: Greatest Hits
Johann Michael Bach, Johann Sebastian Bach, ...

Sony, 1994

Teeming with classics
I purchased this for track #10, which I'd happened to hear on the radio...it stayed in my head until I tracked down the CD. I have a relatively basic working knowledge of classical music, so this long playing collection was an excellent and surprising introduction to ...
  
  











  



  
The Story of Bach
Johann Sebastian Bach, Jean-Joseph Cassanea de Mondonville, ...

Vox (Classical), 1995

Excellent!
We are using this series of CDs in our homeschool music program - they are fantastic! We especially love this one about Bach - what an awesome man! The story of his life is told in a way that is very interesting and holds the children's attention while also using ...
  
  











  



  
Switched-On Bach II
Johann Sebastian Bach, Wendy Carlos

East Side Digital, 2002

Staggering for the time, holds up well today
Switched-On Bach II (along with The Well-Tempered Synthesizer) really shows what the analogue Moog gear could do in the hands of people who knew what they were doing. The performances hold up and the arrangements make the most of the material. This is Bach, after all, ...
  
  











  



  
Switched-On Boxed Set
Johann Sebastian Bach, George Frederick Handel, ...

East Side Digital, 1999

A few thoughts on the SOBoxed....
I just happened upon this set of reviews on Amazon (although I had reviewed the original SOB separately years ago), and was delighted at the multitude of very favorable reviews by others. But then came the weeds amongst the fruit, namely those few reviews by people who ...
  
  











  



  
Bach & Beyond - Gabriela Montero
Johann Sebastian Bach, Gabriela Montero, ...

EMI Classics, 2006

Sublime
This is compositional improvisation at the highest possible level - stunning - with everything that music is or is supposed to have: the highs, the lows, the emotions, the amazingly transparent technical ability. Not only is she a brilliant performer of such composers ...
  
  











  



  
Perpetual Motion
Bela Fleck, Edgar Meyer, ...

Sony, 2001

Soul Food
This is exquisite! The best of human experience encoded on a simple CD disk.
  
  











  



  
25 Bach Favorites
Hildegard Rutgers, Erich Wenk, ...

Vox (Classical), 1996

Bach
Surely you don't need me to review the guy. You know who he is, you've heard his music, and I hope you own some. So let me turn the podium over to a cat named Picasso, and you can read into that whatever you wish. She's in a chair, near the CD player. She has entered ...
  
  











  



  
The Story of Beethoven
Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven, ...

Vox (Classical), 1995

Great value!
Though I haven't listened to all of the CD's in this series which I ordered, I am very impressed with the ones I have listened to. Very enjoyable and informative, and the price couldn't be any lower!!!
  
  











  



  
Switched-On Bach
Johann Sebastian Bach, Wendy Carlos

East Side Digital, 2001

40 years later it's STILL great
even though it's been 40 years since it was released, Switched on Bach by Wendy (formerly Walter) Carlos is one of the best musical performances ever recorded. Anyone even remotely into classical music would enjoy this CD. I had this as a kid (on a record - ask your ...
  
  











  



  
Children's Favorites
Johann Sebastian Bach, Paul [composer] Dukas, ...

Vox (Classical), 2000

A Wonderful Introduction to the Classics
With total playing time clocking in at 78:04 minutes of music, you'll be paying about 6-cents/minute, which is a better bargain than long distance phone calls, and often more rewarding! This disc is far superior than most other "Classics for Kids"-type recordings ...
  
  











  



  
The Triumph of the Piano
Johann Sebastian Bach, Bela Bartok, ...

Sony, 2000

Amazing Variety of Classical Music
If you like the piano, you will absolutely love this cd. I feel in love with it the first time I heard it. All the classics are contained with additional songs from composers I've never heard of -Igor Stravinsky and Francois Couperin - who wrote my new favorite song. ...
  
  











  



  
György Ligeti Edition 6: Keyboard Works (Piano, Harpsichord, Organ) - Irina Kataeva / Pierre-Laurent Aimard / ...
Gyorgy Ligeti, Elisabeth Chojnacka, ...

Sony, 1997

More 'sci-fi' inspired music
This 6th installment of the Gyorgy Ligeti Edition contains one (Harmonies) of Ligeti's three pieces used by Stanley Kubrick in the '2001' soundtrack. For that reason alone, this CD is a bit more interesting than some of the others in this series. To me, as a ...
  
  











  



  
Bach: The Two and Three Part Inventions (Inventions & Sinfonias)
Johann Sebastian Bach, Glenn Gould

Sony, 2004

that's how it's supposed to be
This is an excellent showcase of Gould's talent and his true passion, playing the works of Bach. One reviewer commented on the pace of the pieces, that was Gould's claim to fame. The level of expertise that Gould could play a Bach piece at break-neck speed was what ...
  
  











  



  
Bach: Inventions and Sinfonias (Complete)
Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, Johann Sebastian Bach, ...

Naxos, 1994

Straightforward playing
Janos Sebestyen plays these study pieces clearly, crisply, and cleanly. The tempi are nicely set, and his delicate use of rhythms sounds as though he is playing on the harpsichord. Included on this album are a few selections from the notebook Bach made for his ...
  
  











  



  
Bachbusters
Johann Sebastian Bach, Don Dorsey

Telarc, 1990

A classic!
I first got my hands on this CD in the late 1980's (the 1990 release date listed by Amazon is incorrect) and it ignited a life-long love affair with the music of Bach. Everything on the disc, from the thundering chords of the Fugue in D Minor to the bouncy, almost ...
