J.S. Bach Audiofile Thread
recommended for first timers: The Well-Tempered Clavier, Cello Suites, Brandenburg Concerti

http://www2.nau.edu/tas3/wtc.html (needs Flash)- Somewhat inconsistent but awesome structural analyses of 46 of 48 the fugues from the Well-Tempered Clavier.

Good Bach Movie: Chronik der Anna Magdalena Bach http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0062804/
If you or someone you know has a subscription to Netflix, you can watch this online.

Be sure to also check out this detailed analysis of Bach's fugues and canons. It also includes a chapter about the Art of the Fugue, but this one is incomplete. Happy Birthday, B!
