Okay, so for a classical music aficionado, this is pointless. But then again, if you're a classical music aficionado, why on earth are you looking at this anyway?
For those of us who are just diving into the world of classical music, or who, like me, are content with getting a lot for a little, this is a terrific deal. The performances are not the best ever heard, but they're no slouches, either. This serves as an excellent sampler for Bach's music--if you like what you hear here, then you're more prepared to go and find other, similar works, or better and more complete performances of these. In other words, if you are a classical newbie or a light fan, these pieces are perfectly sufficient, and the value cannot be beaten. Buy it, play it, and enjoy the work of a master.

This review is from: The 99 Most Essential Bach Masterpieces (MP3 Download)
This is a great compilation of Bach music. I downloaded it to have as background music at work. I love classical music and have most of the complete works of Bach, Beethoven, Mozart and many others at home that I sometimes play completely through while I'm relaxing or I randomly listen to movements on my iPod. But when I saw this collection all in one place for $2.99 I couldn't resist downloading it to my office computer.
This is also the perfect collection for someone you are trying to introduce to classical music. Most of the music in this collection is "recognizable" to the novice. Think of this as "Bach's Greatest Hits". It doesn't make you a chump ;)

This review is from: The 99 Most Essential Bach Masterpieces (MP3 Download)
Regardless of whether there are other movements or not, this is one good compilation of Bach's works.
I agree that some of them only tease you with one movement out of the usual 3, but you have to understand this is a compilation. A compilation cd / albums usually do not include all 3 movements. Otherwise it won't be considered compilation. This is, regardless, a great selection of Bach pieces, especially for the people who want to know classical music better or beginning listeners or people who uses these type of music for certain settings (art gallery, cafe etc) or mere personal background music sake. Enthusiasts may find these compilations disappointing- therefore, should purchase full albums with all the movements of the specific pieces that they want to hear. Do not judge the compilation just because it lacks 2 movements out of 3. This product deserves more than 3 stars just for the fact that it gathered some of JS Bach's great works.
