I’ve not posted unusual Bach interpretations for a while now. It’s probably time …?

I’ve never been comfortable with playing the unaccompanied Bach … I hate taking a breath and so I crash and burn. I prefer to just listen, thank you very much!

Yep, I missed it by a day. Oops.

BUT … if you want a real deal, you can go to Amazon and get the Big Bach Set MP3 download for all of 99¢ today. (The deal is only for yesterday and today as far as I can tell.) I haven’t checked it out very carefully, so I can’t vouch for quality at this point, but for 99¢ it’s worth a go, don’t you think?

Next week Symphony Silicon Valley will be doing this (but not with Baroque instruments). I’ll be on third, in case you are wondering.

… and that’s just the beginning! Don’t you want to hear more? :-)

I’d never heard a countertenor sing this before.
