Was alerted today by a post at the excellent Open Culture to an on-going project by the Netherlands Bach Society to upload live performances of 'All of Bach' to their website and YouTube. Dived into a very fine St John Passion this evening, particularly astonished - indeed, hypnotised - by the beauty of the opening chorus (with which I'm not all that familiar.)
This sort of thing almost justifies the existence of the Internet.
Mind you, it isn't going to be easy finding time to listen to it all (the 350 works now available of Bach's staggering 1080 total - not just the St John Passion.) Nice problem to have.
