Bach wrote an incredible 1080 compositions during his lifetime. Some say the number is closer to 1120, but unless you own a copy of Bach&#8217;s complete recordings, you probably haven\u2019t heard them all. Thanks to the Netherlands Bach Society, they are on a mission to change that.<\/p>\n<p>Founded in 1921, the NBS launched the ambitious project to record nearly all of Bach\u2019s BWVs\u00a0(video and audio), and provide them all for free at <a href=\"http:\/\/allofbach.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\">allofbach.com<\/a>. They will be releasing new videos scheduled every Friday until their goal is reached.\u00a0So far there are six pieces up on the site, with 1074 to go.<\/p>\n<p>Why All of Bach?<\/p>\n<p>The ensemble states that the idea came to them when looking for a way to celebrate their first 100 years. \u201cIn this way we can involve people in the way we work and let them discover how you can make Bach sound,\u201d said Artistic Director Jos van Veldhoven. \u201cIt\u2019s a gift to the world. Because whether you live in South Korea and are practicing the Minuet in G minor for the first time or you live in Appingedam and are fascinated by four-part fugues, you are just a few mouse clicks away from the information you are looking for.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Netherlands Bach Society has been a staple of the Dutch music scene ever since they started in 1921, with a performance of Bach\u2019s St Matthew Passion in the Grote Kerk in Naarden. Each season they present over fifty concerts all over the Netherlands and abroad. \u00a0In addition to the videos, they will also include interviews and background information on each of the pieces.<\/p>\n<p>Mark your calendars, Toronto &#8211; looks like Fridays will never be the same again.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/txyquSXPPD4?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n<p>+++<\/p>\n<p>A special thanks to Musical Toronto reader, James Kulczycki for bringing this to my attention.<\/p>\n<p><i>Michael Vincent<\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Besides being the bastion of baroque classical music, J.S.
