    	The only classical music I have is a 5-disc set of Beeth-
    	oven's 9 symphonies, so I don't know anything about Bach.
    
    	Is Bach piano-oriented, or orchestral?
    
    	Recommendations?  Thanks.

    		OK, thanks.  Are the 2 works mentioned his best,
    		or just the most famous?
    
    		I realize that tastes are different, but everyone
    		has to start somewhere.

    If you like the Switched on Bach type thing Walter/Wendy Carlos has
    performed many classical works using synthesizers.  I think the
    interpretation is really quite good and I enjoy listening to them, but
    a lot of purists are quite critical of the efforts.
    
    It may seem odd, but I really don't enjoy listening to most classical
    guitarists.  While people like Segovia and Parkening have amazing
    expertise in playing (and in the feeling they express), I prefer
    listening to orchestral works, string quartets, and harpsichord for
    classical works.
    
    Bach wrote some beautiful works for string quartet!
    
    Another of Bachs most popular works is a piece called "Jesu Joy of Mans
    Desiring".

    Are these played on organ, guitar or what?

    Cool!  I'll definately look for it then.  A good organist is something
    pretty amazing to behold.

    Segovia rocks (rocked?) I've got a tape of his stuff at home.
    Also, for those Bach-Heads, there is a CD I have at home called
    "BachBusters" which is all synth/synth-guitar.  It's very wierd
    to hear Tocata/Fugue on synth.  I personally loved it, but would
    hate to have to learn any bach stuff on the guit.  It'd be too hard.

    Well, I think J.S. Bach has influenced almost all keyboard players in
    heavy metal and other kind of music. There are strong influences when
    you listen the heavy organ play in Uriah Heep, Deep Purple, Yes and
    many others. I allways like to listen Bach music on church organ
    because it's really heavy ! His musical ideeas are base for many actual
    musicians and it's interesting to search the links with the actual
    heavy metal.

    And what a considerably large crock of sh*t it is too 8^)

    Why is that Tony?  I'm seriously interested since I'm not very familiar
    with any of them.  

    ...i must say that was one of the funnier things i've read today
    tony..........thanks for the chuckle........../k

    
    You is welcome /k maybe I qualify to send you mail now ;)
    
    Mikey, I'm not qualified to comment on its musical references (wheres
    /prc when you need him) but all this reliegous stuff is really starting
    to get on my tits.
    
    As dear departed Ma-ma would say "Music is here to break barriers, not
    create them".
    
    -tony (who doesn't have any tits, but you get my drift)

>    You is welcome /k maybe I qualify to send you mail now ;)
    
    You could always have sent her mail.  Perhaps now she'll actually READ
    it before deleting it...  And if you're *really* fortunate, she *may*
    even reply (if you beg).

    didn't intend to create them so don't take everything so seriously.

    Then lose the hollier than thou attitude buddy.
    
    Religion is fine, no its better than fine, for those who *choose* to 
    pursue it but take it to the bibble bashing conference, this ain't the 
    place for it.
    
    -Tony (mho)

    I like listening to Bach's music while going to sleep -- it's like
    little angels carrying you off to dreamland...
    
    
    
    
    Then they dump my butt at Busch Gardens, and the FUN begins...

    I don't know what you people read into this but I thought it was a
    beautiful sentiment! 
                         Rat
    
    Oh My Gawd could I be even close to agreeing with Mike?!? Man I hate
    when that happens!!! :))

    
    if you want to learn more about them, take the quote to classical.
    even if this was the right place, you could say 'id like to know more
    about mozart', not 'mozart is gods arse' or whatever...
    

    ...mike...remember when we agreed that i should thwap you in the head
    whenever you were "doing it" again.....well...**THWAP*....you're doing
    it again.......knock it off.........;')........and don't worry...next
    time i see rob, i'll tweak his mouse in reprimand as well.......;'0

    The "Brandenburg Concertos" (1-6) have been hot with me all week.  Vai
    could learn a few things from this guy in terms of melody and emotion.
