I just received this same affordable collection and I must say the performances are quite good. The only thing this recording collection lacks are the plastic covers and the paper documents that have been turned into ROM. That is what I would have done with them anyway. Bach is the ultimate composer and the father of practically all of the music we have. He has a light and generous spirit, an open mind and even a perfect and symmetrical darkness that makes both sides of life acceptable. Find another master composer who's every written phrase in his entire opus can be sung! (if you have a fairly good ear for music.)
