Johann Sebastian BachThe Best of Bach

Start with the Cello Suite No. 1 Prelude, that single unaccompanied line rising and falling like someone thinking out loud, and you understand why Bach still floors people. The Brandenburg Concertos bustle and interlock with a clockwork joy you can feel in your chest. Performed by the likes of Mstislav Rostropovich, Ton Koopman, and David Fray, this gathers the essential pieces into one easy doorway. The music that set the rules everyone after him played by. The perfect place to fall in love with classical.
