Last time, he was mad at LL Cool J. This time Canibus is just mad, and his animalistic lyrics prove it throughout the 14 tracks that make up 2000 B.C.. "In bare knuckle boxing speed is the object / weaving and dodging with defensive blocking," he says of his lyrical strategy on the title cut. And he sticks to that plan as he rips through tracks laced with strings, classical choirs, pianos, and merciless drums. Canibus loops an answering-machine message for the hook on "Mic-nificent" and trades verses with the legendary Rakim on "I'll Buss 'Em U Punish 'Em." Hip-hop hasn't heard it this raw in a long time. But for those who like it smooth and poppy, 2000 B.C. is way before your time. --Kenji Jasper

5 out of 5 stars Classic.......2006-06-06

This album is probabaly the most lyrical thing i have ever heard! It is solid from start to finish and is a pure battle CD. His lyrics are fiery and aggressive all the way through, i love putting this album on when in a lively or angry mood, it gets me buzzin. Some of the beats may take you a few listens to get use to but once you give it a few spins im certain you will love it and will have it playing on a regular basis

'bis is definitly 1 of the most underrated artists in Hip-Hop

5 out of 5 stars classic.......2006-01-15

Can's most complete cd.
But at the time people were ignoring it.
It is a classic from start to finish. Some tracks have beats that take a second to get used to though.

5 out of 5 stars Hip Hop Classic........2005-09-02

This is a Hip Hop classic. Punchlines and metaphors from start to finish. Buy it now.

5 out of 5 stars 100 bars.......2005-07-30

This album screams BATTLE ME! Every track is about rippin punk MC's down. The less than perfect production is made up by hostile battle lyrics aimed at anyone who wants em'. I agree with a lot of people when I say that this is his BEST, the BATTLE MC is what we came to hear and that's what we get!

5 out of 5 stars His best album!!!.......2005-05-04

Too bad the producers screwed him and his career...but no matter what he's put his dent in hip hop! This is his best album...not made for those commercial heads! Appropriate title for the album also; his rhymin' skills take back to before the soft commercial music infested the game. 2000 B.C., 100 Bars, and Horsementality are the best tracks on the album, with I'll Buss Em U Punish Em not too far behind (he has a LEGEND on the track). Get this...it is a CLASSIC!

5 out of 5 stars clearing up confusion.......2006-10-19

I've read some confusion about Walter Carlos being the listed performer on Switched On Bach and Wendy Carlos being the performer on Switched On Bach 2000. Let me clear this up for anyone that might be confused or that won't consider the new 2000 version because of it not being Walter. They are both one in the same. In 1972, Walter Carlos underwent gender reassignment therapy. The last release to be credited to Walter Carlos was By Request (1975). The first release as Wendy was Switched-On Brandenburgs (1979). Carlos's first public appearance after her gender transition was in an interview in the May 1979 issue of Playboy magazine, a decision she would come to regret because of the unwelcome publicity it brought to her personal life. On her official site, her transition is discussed in an essay stating that she values her privacy on the subject.

1 out of 5 stars Muddy waters..........2003-05-31

I was sorely disappointed in this "updated" recording of Bach. The music supposedly more true to the period is muddy and indistinct. I jumped for joy when the original Switched On Bach was released last year - that is the one to buy.

5 out of 5 stars In what way inferior?.......2003-05-17

It's not inconceivable to me that someone who has spent a lifetime listening to a broad range of music could prefer Carlos's debut recording of Switched-On Bach to the collection, but from any objective viewpoint it IS indefensible. Not only has Carlos brought to bear a quarter century's booming tech innovation, but also a quarter century's musical experience from a unique vantage point atop the under-examined world of classical electronica.

A well-read friend of mine and musical omnivore was given the recent Wendy Carlos re-interpretation of Clockwork Orange to replace his lost Lp of the original soundtrack. His response was nearly ballistic. The original soundtrack to A Clockwork Orange was a dear old friend that had seen him through many a tough time, and he was intimately acquainted with every edge of every sine wave on it. And he missed those particulars so sorely, it was as though he'd been reacquainted with his high school sweetheart only to find she'd undergone reassignment surgery.

I try to keep this anecdote in mind when I read an unflattering review of S-OB 2000. I play music, and I know it in the way a dentist knows tooth enamel. I am as susceptible to a cherished smile as the next guy, but I do know teeth. Beautiful teeth.

2 out of 5 stars Certainly not much beauty in this Beast !.......2003-05-05

I regret to review this album in a negative manner, since I respect the author as a great musical thinker and revolutionaire in synthesizing sounds (and composing music).
I would probably prefer the S-OB in its time, but the anniversary edition somehow eludes my liking.

I can agree, that Bach's music - which can be, when interpeted poorly, on a verge of kitch (for exmpl. various Airs and Adagios on "Best of Classics" or "Meditative Classics" and similar awful compilations) - is best performed by very skilled musicians that bring something fresh and meaningful to the music.

The plastic acoustic wrapping of S-OB 2000 doesn't help.

Wendy has shown her artistic potential in many other cases, most respectively in excellent Beauty in the Beast.
Why can't she continue to explore in that direction and do things of high artistic value - modern classical compositions - sort of electronic Ligeti or Stravinsky on trip or something like that?
I prefer her composition on S-OB 2000 , since that was produced with electronic instrument in mind, while Bach was thinking about organ, strings and harpsichord/klavier. The original tunings don't replace the natural timbre and microtonal variations that experienced players make conciously or unconciously while playing - we all heard about great violin virtuosos that achieved their original tone or sound by playing some notes a little flat to achieve the effect that Wendy is talking about.

Some of the music on S-OB 2000 doesn't sound TOO different from some keyboard demo with Bach's music to my ears - MIDI toccata or somethnig like that - sorry Wendy.

Wendy used the extraordinary tunings creatively in Beauty in the Beast and achieved masterful musical effect and experience of real creativity and musical magic. I admire her in-depth observation and recreation of elements of different ethnic music and orchestra, which show her great knowledge and real understanding of underlying matrix that constitutes music - she might be genial in that aspect, but I think she shouldn't waste her talent on things like S-OB 2000.

5 out of 5 stars Bach at its Best.......2003-01-16

I love this CD. It was interpreted in such a unique way, it brought back the original flavor of how the music was played on hapsicord (sp?) back in the Baroque period. This interpretation really made the notes came alive. It was most enjoyable and it lifted your spirit as the music plays.

    5 out of 5 stars Five Excellent Pianists and a Feast of Musical Delights!.......2005-12-29

    The Miami International Piano Festival of Discovery is well named: this two CD set offers fresh young talent in a variety of music played with all the drama of a competition. It is very well recorded and contains some truly magical moments.

    There are five pianists represented here and their choices of competition entries in many ways helps define their abilities and musicality. Piotr Anderszewski offers the Bartok Opus 6 Bagatelles, electing to explore all 14 of these little pieces to keep with the unity of Bartok's conception. They are models of clean definitive performances. Denis Burstein on the other hand selects various works by Scriabin, Rachmaninov, Medtner, and Taneyev showing his penchant for the obscure as well as the well known. Kemal Gekic programs Scarlatti with Liszt and Rachmaninov and offers valid stances on each. Ilya Itin opts of an all Rachmaninov collection from the lovely 'Vocalize' through six of the Preludes. Francesco Libetta closes with paraphrases on Chopin by Godowsky and works by Debussy, Saint-Saens and Alkan.

    Of interest the pianist who has become most popular with the public since this 2000 year competition is Piotr Anderszewski, but from the experience of listening to the entire group, one would expect more will come from the other four, too! A delightful set of recordings. Grady Harp, December 05

    The Bach renaissance--which began in earnest in the early 19th century thanks to the efforts of Felix Mendelssohn and others--inspired an endeavor of far-reaching significance. It led to the founding of the Bach Society in 1850, with the goal of gathering and publishing the composer's complete works, and thus set into motion one of the great projects of musical scholarship. That effort has continued and been refined throughout the 20th century, ultimately influencing not only our perception of how to perform early music but fundamental ideas of musical history, evolution, and reception as well.

    Teldec's mammoth Bach 2000 box set represents a kind of culmination of that original attempt to come to terms with Johann Sebastian Bach's unparalleled legacy. This set brings together performances recorded over the last several decades--a small percentage of the recordings are previously unreleased--of all the extant works determined by modern scholarship to be authentic. There are also some pieces the authorship of which is still in question and a few now deemed "inauthentic" but familiarly associated with the composer. Bach was a prodigious reviser of his compositions, and alternate versions of a particular work have been included "where the changes seemed sufficiently important," such as the glorious Magnificat. No doubt manuscripts will continue to be unearthed here and there in various archives (Bach 2000 contains, for example, the "Neumeister chorales," which were rediscovered in 1984), but the set does not represent the many fragments of music that consist of just a few bars; however, there are some reconstructions of lost concertos (such as one for three violins reconstructed by Christopher Hogwood from an extant concerto for harpsichords).

    Of course a truly comprehensive recorded edition of every note Bach wrote remains a utopian impossibility--about one-third of his cantatas, for example, have not survived. Even so, the dimensions of Bach 2000 are staggering. With its 12 boxes comprising 153 CDs, the set can be compressed into fewer boxes to save shelf space yet is still about ten times as long as the Ring cycle. (It should be noted that the packaging--using thin cardboard sleeves for the CDs--is distinctively unattractive.) That adds up to just under 160 hours of music--but a lifetime of discovery. Each box (grouped according to genre) contains a booklet with excellent notes on individual works and--for all the choral works--texts and translations. Tracking indexes are useful and thorough. Also included is a profusely illustrated hardbound volume of 24 Inventions, in which journalist Wolfgang Sandberger uses the composer's biography as a peg for some enigmatic and fascinating musings on the meaning of Bach today.

    The presiding philosophy behind this project and its approach to musical interpretation can be largely ascribed to Nikolaus Harnoncourt, a true musical pioneer and galvanizing force of the "period performance" movement. Harnoncourt's epoch-making recordings of the sacred cantatas (using, for instance, boy sopranos and choristers according to the practice in Bach's time) with the Concentus musicus Wien and colleague Gustav Leonhardt comprise the first four volumes here (those who already own them can turn to the Bach 2000 Light edition, which contains everything sans the cantatas). These recordings--which were not remastered for this set--have long been controversial and are notably uneven, embracing some magnificent accounts as well as others that lack fire and seem clearly underrehearsed. But Harnoncourt is one of the most fascinating conductors of our era, and his interpretations amply bear out his assertion: "I have never felt that Bach worked in a routine manner, that he repeated himself in his works." Harnoncourt--who has articulated many of his ideas in his book The Musical Dialogue--displays his gifts as a cellist in a remarkably probing performance of the Cello Suites (originally recorded in 1965) and in his concertizing for a number of chamber works. For the St. Matthew Passion, you get Harnoncourt's groundbreaking earlier account from 1970, while his 1986 recording of the sublime B Minor Mass is also represented here (the St. John Passion included is Harnoncourt's 1995 acount).

    Other artists included are colleague Gustav Leonhardt, whose thoughtful if occasionally dry harpsichord artistry is heard in the Goldberg Variations as well as in the concertos and chamber music. The harpsichord is in fact used throughout in preference to piano for the keyboard works. Ton Koopman (himself the conductor of an ongoing complete cantata series and of the Easter Oratorio included here) performs the organ works, including some newly recorded offerings, while Il Giardino Armonico's well-known high-energy account represents the Brandenburg Concertos. Violinist Thomas Zehetmair is exceptionally compelling in the unaccompanied sonatas and partitas, and the Concentus musicus Wien--again under Harnoncourt--perform a superb Musical Offering that richly repays frequent listening.

    The result of Bach 2000 as a whole is an aptly encyclopedic grappling with the infinite legacy of this most compendious of composers, whose works are on one level a summation of all the styles available to him. Bach was once thought to represent a "terminal point" (to use Albert Schweitzer's famous formulation), the end of an era; today he is at least equally recognized as a fertile source of inspiration for composers since. To be sure, individual recordings of particular works will be found to be preferable, and it would be misguided to consider Bach 2000 any kind of "final" or "definitive" word. Instead, it's an indispensable starting point that represents a monumental achievement for our own contemporary understanding of Bach. --Thomas May

    5 out of 5 stars Bach is priceless.......2006-11-10

    I believe, as another reviewer has stated, Bach's music may be the best ever written. Also, I think the cantatas are not where Bach placed his heart and soul. He was, after all, employed as a canter and in a position he did not wish for, but was forced to take to feed his large family. (I recommend "Bach and the High Baroque" lecture series by TTC.) What really stands out on this collection are all works in volumes 8 and above. Some of these works are hard to find and having them all in this collection and preformed on original instruments is great. Bach is priceless and so then is this collection.

    2 out of 5 stars Buy the works you like...........2006-01-11

    If you love Bach, which you must if you are looking at this particular item, you probably own a couple of his works already. Perhaps some of them are on the Teldec label. There is nothing wrong with Teldec if you are just getting into "classical" music. You will probably enjoy the music thoroughly. I know I did, as one of the first "classical" releases I bought was on Teldec, and it was Bach. I was amazed how great Bach was. Then my brother showed me the same recording, performed by another group, on another label. It had a lot more passion, and the instrumentalists were obviously of a higher level. Pardon my rambling, but what I'm trying to say is, the recordings found in this boxset are not the "cream of the crop." They are perfectly acceptable, easily listenable renditions of what many consider the greatest music...EVER. Take it from me, someone who has leapt into boxset land one too many times: Save your money, buy the individual albums. Take your time, talk to record store clerks (read Amazon reviews), do your research. If you are lucky enough to have a decent record store around, listen to multiple versions of the same work. No one said you had to buy it all at once. It can take a lifetime to fully realize the potency of this music, so enjoy the discovery as long as possible.

    2 out of 5 stars Poor Bach.......2005-11-26

    In Antony & Cleopatra, Shakespeare wrote: "I shall see some squeaking Cleopatra boy my greatness...."

    I am 99% in favor of original instrument performances, but there are limits. Just imagine if we had the same sort of thing going on with Shakespeare's plays -- men and boys playing all of the women's parts. And if we *really* wanted to be original, they would be squeaking boys "I' th' posture of a whore" (Shakespeare's words). Such performances would knock Monty Python
    right out of business.

    The Cantatas, which are the lion's share of this collection, are sung by boys, boys, boys. If you want to ruin boy choirs for yourself, then go for it. It might still be a novelty by the fifth CD but by the fiftieth, you will want to throw your &*%$ wig at the squeaking speakers, just as the exasperated Bach famously did with his own wig and his own boy choir. (For which he was reprimanded.)

    Does Harnoncourt really, honestly think that Bach would have picked a boy choir if he could have had women? Does anyone seriously believe that Shakespeare would have preferred his parts played by boys instead of women?

    If you buy this set, don't buy it for the Cantatas, unless (unlike Bach) you can tolerate immature voices with "wig-tossingly" inconsistent intonation. Hold out for Suzuki or Koopman. Stay away from the Rifkin perfomances, mostly because the recording quality is second and third rate by today's standards. Not that historical performances should be shunned, but you might want to think twice about 60 odd CDs worth of second rate sound.

    5 out of 5 stars A Treasure Trove.......2004-03-07

    This set is the culmination of several decades of work on the part of the West German record label Teldec (formerly known as Telefunken-Decca). With their early-music subdivision Das Alte Werk (similar to DG's Archiv or Decca's L'Oiseau-Lyre), Teldec have been in the forefront of exploring the world of period instruments and authentic performance practice, with special emphasis on the works of J.S.Bach. The lion's share of recordings here was originally made for Das Alte Werk, with the odd exception here and there licensed from other labels in order to fill in the gaps. The centerpiece of the set is the famous recording of the 199 church cantatas by Nikolaus Harnoncourt and Gustav Leonhardt. If you're not familiar with the cantatas, there's a whole world of drama, color and expression right here waiting for you. You'll also be surprised to learn how many of the "tunes" you know from popular arrangements, like "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" and "Sleepers Awake" are actually movements from cantatas. The names of Harnoncourt and Leonhardt pop up again and again; they were both mainstays of the Teldec roster. Leonhardt gives us his 1965 Goldberg Variations on a Dulcken harpsichord whose every tone is like a bell, and Harnoncourt's "home" recording of the Cello Suites (never intended for general release) shows the ferment of a great musical mind. Ton Koopman gives us his provocative and controversial re-thinkings of the organ works, and Thomas Zehetmair's performances of the unaccompanied violin sonatas and partitas are like dramatic scenes spoken by a solo violin. Here are the uniquely bizarre Brandenburg Concertos by Il Giardino Armonico; the rhetorical and transparent performance of the motets conducted by Harnoncourt (perhaps his best-ever recording); Leonhardt's relaxed and smiling versions of the harpsichord concertos; Alice Harnoncourt's tawny, leonine performances of the sonatas for violin and harpsichord; Harnoncourt's chiaroscuro-filled performance of the Christmas Oratorio, and so on. This set is one of the most worthwhile CD buys you could make. You will never be bored with this to dip into over the years.

    5 out of 5 stars 147 out of 153 ain't bad!.......2001-04-29

    Having listened to the complete set, I can confidently recommend it, if you would use a complete set of Bach's works.

    If you really like Bach, it is well worth getting. You will read disparaging reviews which will tell you that there are better performances of individual works. But this is a great opportunity for a Bach lover to get very good versions of his entire oeuvre.

    In the set of 60 CDs of sacred cantatas, there are about 6 duds, which feature out of tune boy sopranos! If you are not crazy about sacred cantatas, you can buy a set which omits them, which may be advised!

    I love the version of the Mass in B minor, though it is very different from our set by Munchinger [which we really enjoy].

    The Brandenburgs are great. THe first movement of the first concerto is a knock out! Very brassy and bombastic: quite different from the 3 or 4 other versions I have previously enjoyed.

    We are a piano family and have many CDs of Bach keyboard works played on piano [though we also have the Well Tempered Clavier on harpsichord and clavichord] The keyboard performances in the set are all on harpsichord and are lively and very enjoyable.

    It takes some getting used to the authentic Baroque flute performances: especially occasional out-of-tuneness. But these are also interesting and musically played.

    If you would use a set of all of Bach's extant works, it is a great choice. It is competitively priced and I love the packaging.

        J.S. Bach's fascination with numbers has been taken over by the music world at large as--in alignment with the new millennium--it prepares to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the composer's death, which occurred in July 1750. Though his passing marked the sunset of one of the most glorious eras in music, awareness of the value of Bach's enormous legacy has never been more widespread than in our own time. As evidence, just take the spectrum of recordings scheduled to honor the Bach anniversary. This sampler offers a glimpse of the most ambitious of them all: Teldec's Bach 2000 box set, a 153-CD mountain of music consisting of the composer's entire output of over 1,000 works. The majority of these recordings have been previously released over the last several decades in various guises, but for the first time they are being gathered into a unified edition. Its guiding spirit is Nikolaus Harnoncourt, one of the pioneers of the revolution in historical performance practice, and he is similarly represented in 8 of the sampler's 18 selections. Among the other artists to savor here--and at beguiling length in the full set--are Harnoncourt's early-music ally Gustav Leonhardt, eloquent violinist Thomas Zehetmair, Il Giardino Armonico, and organist Ton Koopman (in a majestically architectural account of the D Minor Toccata and Fugue). And even though at 77 minutes this is just 1/150th of the whole Bach, you don't need to do the math to be swept away in pleasure. --Thomas May

        4 out of 5 stars Might be hard to find, but..........2004-02-03

        This is a great and relatively inexpensive introduction to the world of Bach. If you know nothing about Bach, the tunes on this disc will wake you up to just how influential and necessary he is in the history of classical music. "It all started with Bach" is not too extreme a position to take, especially if you follow up this recording with a listen to the complete Mass in B Minor, or the St.Matthew Passion or St.John's Passion, or some of his Cantatas. You'll suddenly realize that you've been listening to Bach your entire life.

        This disc may now be hard to find because it was probably meant for limited release as a "teaser" for the Bach 2000 bajillion disc set. Nonetheless, if you can get it it's a good buy, especially since the accompanying booklet includes biographical info and other tidbits. Be warned, though, the world of Bach's music is enormous and may take over your life (not to mention the physical hazard of being crushed by the Bach 2000 boxed set).

        4 out of 5 stars Jolly "old" St. Nik-Harnoncourt and his elves.......2001-06-20

        At first I was a bit dissapointed when I ripped off the plastic wrapping, because it bothers me to have a disc without the standard jewl case. I am a bit familar with Ton Koopman, but the Toccata and Fugue wasn't "da bomb" for two reasons: He uses the same registration, I will pardon him if the design of the organ would not let you change stops in a hurry. His ornamentation is a bit exagerated, and amusing to the point of obserdady (pardon the spelling, or typing)but, nevertheless it is a good recording, and wonderful playing. Cantata 147 was played at a rather fast tempo (about 92). The lute harpsichord peice seems to technically be a bad recording. Track #18's pauken part is so loud you the listener can barely hear the trompetes and floten. All in all I am quite pleased that I own this CD and it is a good highlight of Bach's works. I must say that I probably won't buy the Teldec complete set, but you never know!

        5 out of 5 stars Review.......2001-04-24

        I didn't have enough money to buy the 151 CD set, but I did have enough to buy the sampler. This CD probably has the best version of "Toccata and Fuge in D minor" that I've ever heard. One can literally feel each chord flowing through their veins. My other favories are "Suite in C minor" and "Trio Sonata in G major". Well worth the [discounted] price, and a good introduction to Bach's music.

        4 out of 5 stars Bach 2000 in a nutshell........2000-09-27

        For the price, this is worth the money just for a "Best of Bach" sampler CD (that's why I originally bought it.) and it sounds nice, and it's Bach. What is more to be said?

        However, as stated in the liner notes, the performances were created with the intention to sound the way scholers believe that they would have sounded in Bach's time. So, this means not only period instruments, but also these works sound much different that the Bach most of us are accustomed to hearing.

        Personally, I prefer the modern sound of bach over the hardcore baroque - the works here sound a bit more restrained than the Bach that many of us have come to know and love. I for one prefer the more modern Bach that artists such as Glenn Gould, Virgil Fox and others have presented to us.

        This is worth a listen, though, and if you are considering purchasing some or all of the Bach 2000 CDs, you definitely should sample this CD first to determine if the set is for you.

        4 out of 5 stars An Intro To The Complete Bach Edition Bach 2000 Sampler.......2000-08-05

        I think it is an excellent introduction to Bach. Although I have always liked him, I've never purchased recordings of his work(s). I have to admit- it has me looking for more recordings. Nice- and the recordings are crisp and clear (even on my old player). I recommend it highly!

          The Bach renaissance--which began in earnest in the early 19th century thanks to the efforts of Felix Mendelssohn and others--inspired an endeavor of far-reaching significance. It led to the founding of the Bach Society in 1850, with the goal of gathering and publishing the composer's complete works, and thus set into motion one of the great projects of musical scholarship. That effort has continued and been refined throughout the 20th century, ultimately influencing not only our perception of how to perform early music but fundamental ideas of musical history, evolution, and reception as well.

          Teldec's mammoth Bach 2000 box set represents a kind of culmination of that original attempt to come to terms with Johann Sebastian Bach's unparalleled legacy. This set brings together performances recorded over the last several decades--a small percentage of the recordings are previously unreleased--of all the extant works determined by modern scholarship to be authentic. There are also some pieces the authorship of which is still in question and a few now deemed "inauthentic" but familiarly associated with the composer. Bach was a prodigious reviser of his compositions, and alternate versions of a particular work have been included "where the changes seemed sufficiently important," such as the glorious Magnificat. No doubt manuscripts will continue to be unearthed here and there in various archives (Bach 2000 contains, for example, the "Neumeister chorales," which were rediscovered in 1984), but the set does not represent the many fragments of music that consist of just a few bars; however, there are some reconstructions of lost concertos (such as one for three violins reconstructed by Christopher Hogwood from an extant concerto for harpsichords).

          Of course a truly comprehensive recorded edition of every note Bach wrote remains a utopian impossibility--about one-third of his cantatas, for example, have not survived. Even so, the dimensions of Bach 2000 are staggering. With its 12 boxes comprising 153 CDs, the set can be compressed into fewer boxes to save shelf space yet is still about ten times as long as the Ring cycle. (It should be noted that the packaging--using thin cardboard sleeves for the CDs--is distinctively unattractive.) That adds up to just under 160 hours of music--but a lifetime of discovery. Each box (grouped according to genre) contains a booklet with excellent notes on individual works and--for all the choral works--texts and translations. Tracking indexes are useful and thorough. Also included is a profusely illustrated hardbound volume of 24 Inventions, in which journalist Wolfgang Sandberger uses the composer's biography as a peg for some enigmatic and fascinating musings on the meaning of Bach today.

          The presiding philosophy behind this project and its approach to musical interpretation can be largely ascribed to Nikolaus Harnoncourt, a true musical pioneer and galvanizing force of the "period performance" movement. Harnoncourt's epoch-making recordings of the sacred cantatas (using, for instance, boy sopranos and choristers according to the practice in Bach's time) with the Concentus musicus Wien and colleague Gustav Leonhardt comprise the first four volumes here (those who already own them can turn to the Bach 2000 Light edition, which contains everything sans the cantatas). These recordings--which were not remastered for this set--have long been controversial and are notably uneven, embracing some magnificent accounts as well as others that lack fire and seem clearly underrehearsed. But Harnoncourt is one of the most fascinating conductors of our era, and his interpretations amply bear out his assertion: "I have never felt that Bach worked in a routine manner, that he repeated himself in his works." Harnoncourt--who has articulated many of his ideas in his book The Musical Dialogue--displays his gifts as a cellist in a remarkably probing performance of the Cello Suites (originally recorded in 1965) and in his concertizing for a number of chamber works. For\ the St. Matthew Passion, you get Harnoncourt's groundbreaking earlier account from 1970, while his 1986 recording of the sublime B Minor Mass is also represented here (the St. John Passion included is Harnoncourt's 1995 acount).

          Other artists included are colleague Gustav Leonhardt, whose thoughtful if occasionally dry harpsichord artistry is heard in the Goldberg Variations as well as in the concertos and chamber music. The harpsichord is in fact used throughout in preference to piano for the keyboard works. Ton Koopman (himself the conductor of an ongoing complete cantata series and of the Easter Oratorio included here) performs the organ works, including some newly recorded offerings, while Il Giardino Armonico's well-known high-energy account represents the Brandenburg Concertos. Violinist Thomas Zehetmair is exceptionally compelling in the unaccompanied sonatas and partitas, and the Concentus musicus Wien--again under Harnoncourt--perform a superb Musical Offering that richly repays frequent listening.

          The result of Bach 2000 as a whole is an aptly encyclopedic grappling with the infinite legacy of this most compendious of composers, whose works are on one level a summation of all the styles available to him. Bach was once thought to represent a "terminal point" (to use Albert Schweitzer's famous formulation), the end of an era; today he is at least equally recognized as a fertile source of inspiration for composers since. To be sure, individual recordings of particular works will be found to be preferable, and it would be misguided to consider Bach 2000 any kind of "final" or "definitive" word. Instead, it's an indispensable starting point that represents a monumental achievement for our own contemporary understanding of Bach. --Thomas May --This text refers to the complete edition of this title
