Thanks so much for posting about Evan Shinners' recording project! I'd just like to add that his readings are not only "deeply personal, variegated, and idiosyncratic," but deeply engaged with the latest Bach scholarship. So glad you're enjoying them.
Well, <bleep>. I thought I was going to get work done today, but instead I am listening to all of this good stuff. I have lived with Bach for a long time (via the guitar and otherwise), and was unaware of all of this. Thank you!
Thanks for reading and writing Mark. There's so much great music -- you can search by 'top' posts on my blog here to see what the readers have liked best:
Shinners’ interpretation is like a swim in a river of Bach rather than a mathematician’s thought palace of Bach. I like it immensely.
Nice imagery, I get it!
Thank you so much for this. I can't wait to dive in, and follow along.

Yes -- I don't doubt that this will be the most complete set possible.
