I vacillate on whether I like Bach or not and have come to the conclusion that my like of his music is seasonal. Bach for Summer, Mahler for Autumn, Winter down with some Beethoven, Prokofiev, Shostakovich and pre-baroque fare like Purcell, and in the Spring it's a potpourri of traditional thru modern/contemporary.
Karl Richter really brought Bach into households back in the 60's, he made it mainstream once everybody besides stuffed shirts started buying hi-fi's. Now his interpretations are very round and full and lush, not for everybody, especially purists. Pretty nice stuff nonetheless.
If you are hunkering down to tying some fly's and hoppers or polishing your barrel (cough), and, you have good speakers, here's some nice Bach.

this was a staple piece on my Walkman back then, though I can't find a decent sound quality upload of the father son duo (Igor & David Oistrakh) so I have good sound - less passion via Zuckerman and Perlman plus a live version of the father son duo. If you're at a flea market and come across an old deutsche gramophone record of the Oistrakhs, buy it and PM me.

If you have patience and have some ammo to reload or some project where you don't want to be bothered by a myriad of drivel and bad FM radio programming, please listen to St. Matthews Passion from end to end,, it's long but has some truly stunning choral passages.

one of my favorite passages from St. Matthews Passion ranks up there with Metallica and the best of heavy metal (not sure why nobody has covered it), it's short but punchy.

upload this to your ipod and crank it on your truck stereo when heading out fishing or hunting.
