It is also an incomplete list, because Bach’s output is too far-reaching and enormous to encapsulate in one simple list. This list is, by definition, highly subjective – these are my opinions and suggestions for where to begin and which performers I admire. It’s meant to augment the previous playlists for the Sunday Baroque Bach Birthday Bash, so you can assume everything on the playlists is also worth your consideration. Rather, I propose it as a starting point to explore Bach’s extraordinary legacy and some of the musicians who do justice to it, in my opinion. It is NOT intended to be a conclusive, exhaustive or definitive survey of his work. Therefore, I’ve jotted down this broad overview of “Essential Bach” music and some suggested recordings. ![]() To acquire a complete recording collection of Bach’s compositions would be a dramatic commitment of time and financial resources. As a result, Bach left a significant body of work. The prolific composer was himself a virtuoso keyboard player and violinist who excelled in writing instrumental music, and he was a church musician and man of devout Christian faith who composed a variety of eloquent sacred music. Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) had many professional responsibilities and relationships with patrons and other musicians throughout his life that involved writing special music. ![]()
