Bach Recording Recommendations


Bach wrote, "Music is for the glorification of God and the edification of the human spirit."

Classical is the highest form and Bach is the greatest artist IMO.

Please recommend the best recordings of Bach.

TIA

I second the recommendation of Grumiaux (violin).

I also agree that Pinnock (keyboard) is usually wonderful.
All of them!   (And I don't consider myself necessarily a Bach-enthusiast.)

I can't think of a single Bach recording I haven't liked.  That's just the nature of the music.  (Although I confess, I no longer listen to some of the turgidly Teutonic or "do it for England" recordings popular before the 'original instrument' craze blew them away.)
For the Brandenburg Concertos I'd recommend the Dunedin Consort on a Linn Records SACD.  Great performance and great sound.
