Bach: The Digital Bach Edition



No, not 5 stars, 500 stars
There's lots wrong with the modern world, from nuclear bombs to nonstop advertising on TV, but this collection makes it all worthwhile - well, perhaps that is a slight overstatement, but it is really marvelous. For many years I lusted after the Bach Gesellschaft edition of Bach's collected works, but its 46 volumes were always well beyond my budget and my space. Now I have them all on a single disc. Anything and everything can be found with a few mouse clicks and can be printed out as small as you like for convenience or as large as you need for use at the keyboard or to aid failing sight. A cornucopia worthy of a king available to the meanest peon - well, there I go again, but this collection makes me realize how inadequate language can be. If you can read music, and you recognize Bach as the closest thing to a credible deity, then you cannot live much longer without this DVD.
