At Last Bach Really Hits the Spot

Dont know why but I have been having a neurotic, torturous audiophile time lately, not wanting to listen to anything for more than about 15 seconds and feeling like I am sick of everything in my collection.

Fishing around iTunes, I found this:

Bach

Concerto for 2 Violins in D Minor BMV 1043

Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra

To me, this is wonderful.

Not too insipid but not too raucous...havent heard it 10 billion times in Starbucks.

Can listen and/or read or drive to work and makes the world a better place.

Can anyone else recommend this or similar, particularly better performances, recordings etc.

Thank you.

Bach is one of those composers that you can listen to over and over and wonder why everyone thinks he's so great. But then it clicks and if you can connect, it's usually gives you an experience that no other composer can give you.

Good for you - I hope you find more that will keep you engaged in music.
