I never particularly cared for the St. John's passion, partly because of the fact that it's a big letdown, not being as excellent as the St. Matthew Passion, and partly because of the dodgy references to the Jews, although, that said, given other Passion settings of the time, the fact that it's only dodgy is a step up. I may add John Gardiner's St. John Passion to the mix. Also, for what it's worth, Glenn Gould's 1955 version of The Goldberg Variations was my big gateway drug to Bach.

Oh right. I notice that I like the 1955 version much better than the 1981 one! I think. I'll have to let it sink in a bit.

(There seems to me to be a coldness about him, or, in some cases, an inappropriate emotion. Of course, I cannot explain that, so anyone may feel free to ignore the comment entirely.) But many people love him. It is interesting that there are people who are worshiped by some, and hated by others. And other people are more universal in their appeal or lack of appeal. For some interesting Bach on piano, I recommend: http://www.amazon.de/Wohltemperierte-Kla...B000G8NVZC Of course, it can be had at amazon.com and other places as well.

Ah very good, the Well Tempered Clavier is still missing in my CD collection. What other recordings of it would you recommend? How do you like Pollini (if you have an opinion)?
