THIS couldn't be more difficult to assemble. I think there are more great
Bach recordings than can be found for other composers. I tend to favor the
"specialists" and period instrument folks.
My list:
1. Gloria by Gardiner
2. Mass in B minor by Gardiner
3. Violin Concertos by Hogwood
4. Brandenburg Convertos by Hogwood
5. Matthew Passion by Gardiner or
Well-tempered clavier by Gilbert
It will be interesting to see what others say!
