Listening to KDFC as I work through some relatively boring stuff this am. Right now they are playing the Concerto for 2 violins in d-minor. Julia Fischer and friend, so non HIP.
My favorite Bach recordings:
Brandenburgs - Harnoncourt/Concentus Musicus, the first recording.
Goldberg Variations - Gould, first and second recordings (very different), Kirkpatrick, and Gilbert.
Christmas Oratorio -again, Harnoncourt's first recording, although I also enjoy the Netherlands Bach Society on Channel Classics.
E.Power Biggs playing various works, including the Toccata and Fugue in d-minor
Parkening Plays Bach.
Some of these are LPs, some SACDs, some CDs.
I am not as familiar with the violin sonatas/partitas or the cello suites as I would like to be, nor the b-minor Mass. I am more familiar with the St. Matthew Passion, but I have a hard time getting inside it.
