I spend at least an hour a day ruining the cello suites on double bass. Probably even more time listening to them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTuF461OT3w There is a lot of Bach to listen to. I like the Goldberg Variations a lot and these guys played all of them as a low string trio https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDHei4yIfu4

Pollyanna posted:Bach has always struck me as very heady and long-winded, which TBF is classical music in general but doesn’t really make for an enjoyable listening experience. I do want to learn from his work, though, so I’d like something relatively simple to begin with. Any good starting points for someone who mostly listens to electronic (e.g. post-punk, industrial, video game OSTs)? Listen to da Goldberg Variations. If you can make it through the opening Aria which all of the variations are based on, the first variation absolutely rips and there really isn't much filler after that, they're all good. To me it's really fun to be listening to 3 different voices on the same instrument and then suddenly hear the Aria coming through. This guy takes all the repeats at a slower tempo but it's a really good performance with good visuals https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AtOPiG5jyk If you prefer piano https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ah392lnFHxM As far as Bach being long winded, most Bach movements I can think of only last 3-6 minutes which is really not that much unless you want to sit through an entire suite, which I would only do for a live concert or putting on something while I kill orcs on the computer. Also I think maybe the modern listener's ear doesn't care for organ or harpsicord because we're not accustomed to it, but IMO they are cool + rare instruments and deserve a chance.
