In 2011, the New York Times created a project to determine the ten very best composers of all time. This list featured many of the names you might expect: Mozart, Beethoven, Vivaldi, Bartok, but it is Johann Sebastian Bach who tops the list. Now the Netherlands Bach Society is recording every one of Bach’s works and making it available online at allofbach.com. They will be posting a new piece every Friday for you to enjoy as well as discussions of the works.
The Netherlands Bach Society, which formed in 1921, is using modern technology to introduce the best composer of all time to a wider audience. The Society will also be featuring guest performers to participate in their great musical undertaking.
If you are interested in testing the waters, we recommend Herr Gott, Dich loben alle wir to start. If that isn’t your pace, maybe one of the other 1079 pieces will suit you better.
At Overhead.fm, we enjoy many different genres of music from classical to EDM, and it is fantastic projects like these that demonstrate the timelessness of great art.
If you’d like to hear Bach in your business, we recommend our “Classical” and “Baroque Greats” playlists for businesses.
