Summary: the right kind of classical (actually, Baroque) greatest hits album
Comment: There are two things you should know before buying a greatest hits album by one of the legendary composers whose music we often call 'classical'.
First, the purists hate them. Their ire is understandable. Art music is so enriched by an understanding of its historical moment, its place in a composer's career, the history of its performance, and the like that it seems almost barbaric to strip out a few listen-able tunes and flog them on an album that provides none of this context. These are portions of long pieces, not the four-and-a-half minute stand-alone tunes to which we've become familiar (and learned both to love and to consider normal) in pop music.
Second, the big box stores are full of 'greatest hits' albums performed by fourth-tier, no-name orchestral groups with little personality and unrecognizable roots. Don't buy them if your entree into, say, Bach is really an entrance to something larger rather than just a need to fill the house with a little background music (which is not a bad thing on its own terms and beats hearing the doors squeak on their hinges or the frozen pizza sizzle on its lard-ish pan).
The Sony Classical series of greatest hits album is not what I've just described. Bach: Greatest Hits is one album of a splendid series with an appealing common genre of artwork, entry-level time lines on the CD liner notes and--here's the Big Thing-selections from the very best performing ensembles in the world.
Not *that's* a greatest hits album. If your interest in classical music is at a beginner's stage, buy the whole series. If that's a stretch, you won't regret starting out by snagging Bach: Greatest Hits.
Rock on.

The different songs give a good impression of Bach's great works.

Summary: Teeming with classics
Comment: I purchased this for track #10, which I'd happened to hear on the radio...it stayed in my head until I tracked down the CD. I have a relatively basic working knowledge of classical music, so this long playing collection was an excellent and surprising introduction to several of Bach's diverse works...both well known and more obscure. Certainly a worthwhile addition to your classical collection.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Excellent Introductory CD!
Comment: This CD is an excellent introduction to the works of Johann Sebastian Bach. It's certainly not exhaustive, but it's a start. It also includes pieces from Johann Michael Bach, as well as another composer (whose name escapes me at the moment) whose work was once mistakenly attributed to JSB. This entire series of CDs is perfect for those who wish to learn more about the Classical Masters. Start with this series, and then by all means, delve deeper into their respective repetoires. You won't be disappointed.

Summary: Good Introduction to Bach.
Comment: I don't want to repeat what has been said already but this is a great indroduction to Bach. The variety on this release is good, but like has been said numerous times before, the amount of variety fails to set a single mood. But with a low price and a great deal of variety this is a great CD for those who want to start getting into Bach. Recommended.
