Classical Music - Check this out!!

I'm starting a Classical Music (cd) Collection and this seems to be a great resource.

I know this is a lot to ask, but most of the recommendation links are broken. Anyone have  some suggestions as to which are the best renditions of each work?

TIA

Classical.net is probably one of the most reliable sources of recommendations.  You can search the site for any piece you are looking for.

For Bach, you could do far worse than Hanssler’s 172 CD box set.

The cantatas can be a make-or-break thing, and Helmut Rilling’s set contained therein is well-regarded.  Everything else in that box is good or better, and you’ll have hours of enjoyment exploring every aspect of Bach’s music for a paltry $150.

Go to the Classical music section of Audio Asylum and watch for recommendations from Chris from Layafette and others.

Try Presto Classical's website: Presto Music | All things musical… on your doorstep

Then click on Classical, then Composers, then Bach.  There are almost 700 entries for keyboard music alone!

Pick from the top of the list.  You will see multiple review summaries, and you can play the start of every track.

You will see offers for silver disk and downloads.  You can also join their streaming service.

It might just be your perfect one-stop-shop.  It is mine!

Dave Hurwitz at Classical.net is the best resource for great recordings. He has great YouTube videos where he reviews and compares the best recordings and the website has a lot more. But he's fun to watch and has impeccable taste. 

Agree that Dave Hurwitz at https://www.classicstoday.com/

is a great resource.  His YouTube videos are generally excellent and always amusing.

He has strong opinions on just about everything and is very well informed.  You may not always agree with him, of course.
