5.0 out of 5 stars Great Bach Introduction to the Non-Classical Fan, December 12, 1999

By 

Alf Kremer (Denver CO) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring (Audio CD)

If you're not a huge classical fan, here's a great CD to introduce you to Bach. The compositions are relatively low-key and quite well-played. The only thing I can think to complain about is track four (the prelude) is extremely quiet, during which I tend to turn the volume up...and get my ears shattered when the trumpets kick in on the Brandenberg Concerto. Ideal for reading or soaking in the tub to, and a bargain at twice the price.
