If you're just getting into Bach, IMHO start with his most generously-lyrical, catchy works.

Brandenburg's and Overtures: DHM/ Collegium Aureum or Alia Vox/ Savall Concert of Nations

Sonatas for Violin and Keyboard: Virgin Classics Holloway

Sonatas for Flute: CRD/ Preston, Pinnock, Savall.

The Secular Cantatas: DHM/ Ameling, Collegium Areum

Organ "Favorites": including Toccata and Fugue and Passacaglia in C: Telarc/Murray. Orchestrated: Telarc/Kunzel Cincinnati Pops.

Violin Concertos: Harmonia Mundi/Manze and Podger.

All the above are relatively short and sweet: beautiful slow movements bracketed by or alternating with spirited fast mov'ts. I've left out many of his very greatest works, as well as his most intimate. Try not to be turned off by the HIP/Anti-HIP extremists who are beginning to jump into the conversation.

My first Bach 2lp set below. : )
