5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful collection, February 1, 2006

This review is from: #1 Bach Album (Audio CD)

The album earns its title in many ways. Not only are the selections excellent, but the compilers of this collection chose performances from the late 1950's all the way to the late 90's. Well chosen.
