I own and enjoy a good number of classical CD's but am far from an expert on what constitutes good and faithful performances. However, I can say that this CD is thoroughly enjoyable to me. My experience has been like lemur@earthling.net's, as many of these songs stay in my head, too, which is a great thing. A good bargain, too.

It is a better recording than other classical music CD's I've had, and is an impeccable execution of Bach's work. It led me to buy other "Mad About" series CD's of which I'll comment elsewhere. "Mad About Bach" is a fabulous CD of which I never tire. It is motivating. I have been listening to this "Mad About Bach" CD music for 8 years and still love it as one of my favorites.

It's nice to hear a variety of pieces (guitar, harpsichord, etc) on one CD. Some of these tunes I can't get out of my head. :-) END

If you buy only one classical music CD, this is it! This album highlights the best of pre-classical composer Johan S. Bach. The selection and diversity of his works here is great, using all tones of instruments. All performances and recordings in this album are top notch. My only complaint is the tacky artwork chosen for the album cover, but the music itself more than makes up for it.

This US-inspired compilation has enormously impressed me. If you, your child or a friend doesn't know Bach, this CD is brilliant and if this doesn't convert 'em, probably nothing else will! The pieces & performances have clearly been chosen with great care and are some of the very best around; this is what makes this compilation special. Whether you don't know J.S.Bach at all or like me you already love him and have many CD's of his works, this compilation will please you. I have so many Bach CD's that when I go on vacation or a long trip, I usually don't know what to take on my iPhone; now I do, this CD! Purists may sniff (let 'em!) but as a Bach fanatic, I rate this as the best single CD overview I have ever heard. Buy with confidence; like another reviewer, I am minded to check out the rest of the 'Mad about...' series.
