Bach wrote 1080 compositions during his lifetime. And now thanks to the new and certainly ambitious All of Bach web site, you can eventually watch the Netherlands Bach Society (founded in 1921) perform each and every one of those compositions. The site features six performances so far, which means there’s only another 1074 to go. A new Bach recording will go live every Friday. So you mark your calendars and check in weekly for the next 20 years.
Thanks to Erik for sending this our way!
