A must see for any Bach appreciators and men in general. This particular recording by Richter is pure genius.

Enjoy.

I am very fond of baroque myself.

It is odd that I do not know the name to my favourite piece of Bach. It is the first one played in this complication:

Does anyone know the name?

I concede that Bach was the greatest composer, with in my opinion Handel as a close second. However I must say that I prefer the Romantic era to Baroque.
