    Brandenburg or Goldburg variations are both good places to start. If the latter, I'd strongly suggest the Christophe Rousset recordings on L'Oiseau-Lyre he really makes the harpsichord come alive!

    Hush.... don't mention Loussier and Bach in the same sentence. There are those on here who think it's the work of the devil.

    I think it's great as, lets face it, Bach is the great gran'daddy of jazz. Syncopation is where it's at

    Disclaimer: I am not by any means a Bach expert (or even close), but...

    My favorite Goldberg Variations are a piano version by Kimiko Ishizaka. She's also done Book One of the Well Tempered Clavier on the piano.

    But if you must have the Well-Tempered Clavier on harpsichord, I really like the version by Gustav Leonhardt.
