Regular correspondence with you and Sean has taught me that most slopes are relatively slippy, my friend.. ;-)

Do you have the Neville Marriner set by any chance? if so, what do you think of it?

No, Jared, not that one I am afraid.

^^ I recently saw 4,5 & 6 in a charity shop and was tempted, but the condition wasn't great, and I thought I'd hold out for the full set when I saw it. My problem is that there are so many other pieces of Bach's Orchestral works I wish to explore in due course, it's difficult to know how to prioritise... :-//

after all, I've not yet heard a poor/ substandard piece of Bach... have you?

I thought that you had already bought that one Seán. How much is it going for?

I would be interested in hearing anything which Kuijken laid his baton to; that's for certain
