Sprinkled all through the cantatas, chorale settings, really everywhere, are these Bach movements that slow down eternity.
I think I enjoy the piano transcriptions the most because supremely talented pianists over the years, Rummel, Busoni, Godowsky, Isadore Philip, spotlight these passages and take full advantage of their startling beauty.
If I was forced to listen to only one composer, Bach.
The ten volume set on Hyperion is truly wonderful even while it is not complete.
