Bach Edition: Complete Works (155 CD Box Set)

[philcan]

I've just ordered this packet. Do you know it? How do you rate it?

philcan - I own this and love it. The cantatas, whilst not as brilliant as Elliot Gardener or the like, are fine performances and use "authentic" instrument ensembles. It's a monster, for sure and sits on my bookcase. I've now listened to all the cantatas and that was no mean feat ... mind you I did skip the recitatives (they are boring personally). I like the organ works (Hans Fagius). It's a treasure trove!!

If one has never heard Bach but want to make an investment in that Complete set, you do no wrong in getting it.

I have Magle's Toccata & fugue and I love it! Mr. Magle if you or Corno
is in, would you happen to have "Easter Oratorio,BWV 249"? I have it
on cassette but it's not going to help me get it on my computer.

Are there also Lute Suites? Who is playing it?

Hi philcan,

I do not own that 155 CD set of JSBach's music. I have only heard some cantatas, organ works and other diverse selections from it. Therefore I have a favorable impression of it. Here's my copy of the Lute Suites:

Sorry Corno but, I got nothing. My computer went to sleep. I would
like to have it for my windows media. I all ready have two by Magle
Toccata & Fugue and another. Thank you any way.

Hi Ms. Judy,

Type into the Google search field "Easter Oratorio", then just click and pick.

Cheers,

CD

funny you should ask who is playing the Lute suites because I listened to them not that long ago, I can't remember the artist and have left my iPod at home (I downloaded the complete thing onto my iPod, took ages). If I remember I'll look it up on the box tonight.

 

[philcan]

I'm looking forward to have it at home. :banana:

 

[methodistgirl]
