I'm becoming kind of obsessed with it...
My current favourite baroque works are (in roughly temporal order) the Vespers by Monteverdi (if you want to count that as early baroque), some of the Psalms and Madrigals by Schütz, the Membra Jesu Nostri by Buxtehude, and the clavier Partitas, the first Clavier Concerto and the second English Suite, the St. Matthew's passion and the Art of Fugue by Bach. From the little I've seen of your taste, some of the six Partitas might be your cup of tea. Here's the energetic last part of the sixth.
