Johann Sebastian Bach

I wasn't poking at your heritage, I just thought it was a good joke, given the limited material I had to work with...
That's okay Jared, just don't poke fun at his organ.

Nun Komm was surely one of Bach's favourite chorales, he has so many brilliant settings of the tune in various guises. Lovely stuff.
And yes, hands off my organ!

Yes, it is. The Herreweghe makes an interesting comparison with the Freiburger Barackorchester/Collegium Vocale Gent performance broadcast before last Christmas.

Yes, I would imagine that they would be very different in tone and presentation.

A beautiful disc of Purcell songs framed by the centrepiece of Bach's cantata, Mein Herze Schwimmt Im Blut (BWV 199). A profoundly moving performance by Dawn Upshaw which just cries out for the repeat button on your CD player.

Mstislav Rostropovich - Bach cello suites 1,4& 5 on EMI classics...
Beautiful performance and recording (a great test of low freq reproduction- my reference)
only wish I had a portable head phone amp as I'm on the train and my iPhone struggles to drive my akg studio headphones.... :-(
