Then warn your neighbours, turn volume close to the threshold of pain, sit down and play BWV 654-656 (it is one of the three chorals preferred by Bach himself). This is a wonderful set in my opinion, where Stockmeier doesn't act as a rock star to impress on the listener. It was recorded in four years (1977-1981) all around Germany. Keep in mind, however, that there has been some fetishism around Bach these past few decades so many of the BWV xxx are only exercises, sketchs and the like, sold off as concert material.
