Not like it's historically correct or anything, but this is a marvellous album anyway: http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P/B00005ORCV.03.LZZZZZZZ.jpg

The random notes played when it occured were probably a big influence on Schönberg and Stravinsky.

I've been digging into Bach lately, and while I have a pretty good idea where to go with his vocal and solo instrument work, I'd love to hear recommendations on his chamber and orchestral music. I'm only familiar with the Brandenburg Concertos (and "Air on the G String", of course), and I'd want to hear more stuff like that. Preferably on period instruments, as I love them recorders and harpsichords! Which recordings would you folks recommend?
― Tuomas, Tuesday, 29 October 2013 12:31 (ten years ago) link
for historically informed/period instrument performances search: gustav leonhardt, konrad junghänel, rene jacobs, reinhard goebel
rachel podger's recordings of the sonatas and partitas for violin (on an original instrument iirc) are incredible.

Enjoying the Six Partitas, with Lucy Carolan on harpsichord.
Apparently JSB considered this stuff his commercial crowd-pleasing material and didn't rate it, but I like it... particularly Partitas #1 and #3
