I'm not much of a "celebration" guy and was not aware this is the day. But, I listened to the Goldberg Variations from Tureck on DG earlier today (great interpretation) and currently have Gardiner's Funeral Cantatas playing in the cd-rom. I don't generally plan my listening selections or much of anything else, but in recognition of Bach's birthday, I'll be listening to some different period instrument versions of the cello suites. Bruns on Opus 111 and Sheppard on Metronome are prime selections as I have not given them sufficient play time. Don Satz [log in to unmask]
