If you're serious, you will need at least three: 1) Spitta, for his monumental work on all facets related to Bach's life and work. 2) Schweitzer, for his insight into performance of Bach's works. 3) Wolff (Bach: The Learned Musician), for an update on the two above. These should keep you busy for a while. Enjoy. Ramon Khalona Carlsbad, California
