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.

I find it interesting that every time I make a real upgrade and not just a different sound presentation, I find myself listening to a lot more Bach.
Chuck, I ceratinly look into those recommendations.
Here are a few of mine:
Bach violin concertos, Arthur Grumiaux Heinz Holliger Herman Krebbers on Philips 420 700-2 (just beautifull)
J.S. Bach Cello-Suiten Mstislav Rostopovich EMI CLASSICS (WARNING this is closed miked, you will hear nose hair blowing)
Bach Secular Cantatas DOR-90199 (serious fun)
