J.S. Bach’s Masterworks in a 33 CD-Set
The CD-Set contains 8 recordings of solo works, 10 recordings of orchestral works and 5 recordings of sacred works by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685 – 1750) on 33 CDs, recorded by world-famous musicians such as Glenn Gould, Jan Vogler, Gustav Leonhardt, James Galway, Murray Perahia, Nikolaus Harnoncourt and many more.
The most famous works by J. S. Bach like the Christmas Oratorio, the St. Matthew Passion, The Well Tempered Clavier, the Goldberg Variations or the Violin Concertos built the essence of this box and are completed with not as popular repertoire such as the Flute Concerto, the Mass in B Minor and Esa-Pekka Salonen’s recordings of Orchestral Arrangements. Many of the original albums are no longer available, and every single slim CD sleeve will provide the original cover. The CDs are sorted by solo works, orchestral works and sacred works.
