All of Bach for Free!
A New Site Will Put Performances of 1080 Bach Compositions Online
Bach wrote 1080 compositions during his lifetime. And now thanks to the new and certainly ambitious All of Bach web site, you can eventually watch the Netherlands Bach Society (founded in 1921) perform each and every one of those compositions. The site features six performances so far, which means there’s only another 1074 to go. A new Bach recording will go live every Friday. So you mark your calendars and check in weekly for the next 20 years.

So far I have watched and listened to BWV 61 - Nun Komm, der Heiden Heiland, and it's very good indeed.

I found myself listening to some of the organ recordings this week, and they are absolutely top-drawer. From what I've heard so far, I would consider them to be superior performances to most/many of the usual suspects, and on really good instruments too. I was looking for an online performance of BWV 663 because I'm considering playing it myself at a recital over the summer, and on the basis of what I heard here I'm completely inspired to play it again. Superb stuff!

What a wonderful site! Many thanks for the link.
Before I clicked I thought it was just going to be audio files but it is quite remarkable with high-quality video, interviews and essays.
It's a treat to see these beautiful organs as well as hear them, and so educative to follow the registrations in real time.
What a resource! I wonder who is funding such an elaborate venture; truly a cultural service to the community.
