All of Bach for Free! New Site Will Put Performances of 1080 Bach Compositions Online<\/a><\/h1>\n

\"Bach<\/p>\n

Probably quite old news now, but worth mentioning again. Thanks to Open Culture<\/a>
\nI wonder who will perform the lute music?<\/p>\n

Bach wrote 1080 compositions\u00a0during his lifetime. And now thanks to the new and certainly ambitious\u00a0All of Bach<\/em>\u00a0web site<\/a>, you can eventually watch the\u00a0Netherlands Bach Society<\/a>\u00a0(founded in 1921) perform each and every one of those compositions.<\/p>\n

By the way, that opening piece on the video is an interesting organ transcription of a \u00a0cantata Sinfonia\u00a0(Wir m\u00fcssen durch viel Tr\u00fcbsal<\/i>, BWV 146) based on the D minor keyboard concerto BWV 1052 which is probably in turn a transcription of a lost violin concerto and which I transcribed for a Naxos recording<\/a>
