In summary, BBC will be playing the full works of J.S.Bach from 16th to Christmas, with the option to listen live through streaming audio. This follows the success of a similar initiative with Beethoven's symphonies. In Belgium, there will be a similar event for Mozart's repertoire in 2006. The website also offers a link to the music recordings and the hosts are fans of the group Musica Antiqua Koln but are disappointed that recordings by Paul McCreesh and the Gabrieli Consort & Players will not be included.

they're playing at least 2 different recordings of the d minor partita for violin, i thought they would play everything only once. i also noticed that they're playing reinhard goebel & his musica antiqua koln's recording fo brandenburg concerto #6; they should get as much air time as possible. that's one of my favourite groups. they aren't playing any recordings by paul mccreesh & the gabrieli consort & players though. :frown:

Marvellous. They did the same with Beethoven's symphonies and that was a hughe success. An analogue initiative is taken here in Belgium, where the entire Mozart repertoire will be played on national radio because of the upcoming Mozart-year 2006.

Great link, thanks
