Your favorite J.S. Bach

Only Toccatta and Fugue in D minor.
The rest of Bach puts me well asleep:-)

Christopher Herrick playing the Trio Sonatas on the organ (Hyperion CD). I once asked him which of the trio sonatas was his favorite, and his response was "Whichever one I'm playing at the time!".

In recent weeks, the CD player has been repeatedly spinning two recordings of Bach on modern piano:

* Angela Hewitt's glorious performance of the Toccatas (on Hyperion)
* Andras Schiff's probing new recording of the Goldberg Variations (on ECM)

The best performance of Bach I've ever known was with Jacques Loussier trio...

Edwin Fischer's 1936 version of the Well tempered Clavier on Naxos.
