Oh look, today's music is Bach. I'll do you a favour and pass over everything this composer wrote in one day's entry (although Douglas Adams claimed that he wrote so much that 'Bach' was a cover for aliens).
I've got choral music, the complete organ works (that's 40CDs alone) and my favourite pieces of music ever, the Cello Suites. Everybody knows the Toccata and Fugue in D Minor (check the great animation below), and the Passions have never been unpopular, but the Cello Suites were basically forgotten about until Pablo Casals (a great lefty cellist) happened upon a manuscript in a junk shop. They never fail to inspire me. When I'm happy, they suit my mood. When I'm tired, they lift me, when I'm unhappy, they soothe.
