I thought you were going to attempt to explain why Bach is held in such unequalled esteem. While this selection of excerpts, which totally omits the sacred music which is the bulk of his work and more, might well attract a child (as I was when I first encountered his music), without explanations of the forms, the religious ideas, notions like canon, fugue, and chorale, and how Bach worked in these "rooms "of the "castle" of Baroque music and created the gargantuan legacy he has bequeathed us, it's just more background music. This is not a presentation, but a jukebox. The _Thomaskantor_ deserves more, a lot more.
Thanks for your comments, I appreciate what you’re saying and will endeavour to add more of his fabulous work over time and try to encourage others to enjoy his legacy as I do.

...and who told you that God didn't answer? He knows what you are going through, he listened and the answer, given, is on its way...
