I made a serious effort (well, serious for high school) to enjoy Bach.  I had seen Brian Blessed's 'The Joy Of Bach' and liked it very much.  I sought out records (yes, kids, we had records in those days) and nearly wore them out.  I suppose it was more Blessed than Bach that sparked my interest, because, try as I might, I could never manage to like Bach as much as I did Delius or Grieg.

Just a matter of taste.

It took a lot of effort to not try and compile a huge list of recordings of Bach's music when Grand got to Bach, and since this thread's come up, here's where I started:



And the Sitkovetsky version for string trio:


Also, Allmusic's added the ability to search recordings of particular pieces by rating. About fucking time!

And here's a charming mandolin rendition of the B minor partita for solo violin by Chris Thile. He actually explains the piece in the beginning:

This one is hands down my favorite Bach cantata, but the competition is strong and it's a pretty close race.

Absolutely lovely!

While we're talking Cello suites, here's one I had in the pipeline. It's a nice contrast with Yo Yo Ma's experienced and wise playing - a youngster playing Nr. 3, with some hilarious quirky Bagpipe effects in the last movement.
