I intend to start another Bach blog in the next month or so, going through every CD in a different Bach Complete Works set.
I’ll post a link to it here when it’s ready.

155 Days With Bach and Me
All Bach, All the Time…Everything Johann Composed
WHO’S “ME”?
You can call me Johann. But don't expect me to answer to that.
My name is Bill.
One morning in 2009 I awoke and realized I wanted to accomplish a few things before my next birthday. So I designed a one-year regimen that immersed me in four of mankind's finest achievements, from literature to music. And a lot in between.
So, starting June 2009, I spent 70 days reading all of Hemingway's novels, 81 days watching every Oscar-winning movie, 30 days studying Aristotle's Poetics, and 180 days listening to everything Mozart composed.
I took a year off and then started up again on June 30, 2011, with 27 Days With Billy Wilder And Me, an exploration of every movie the great director ever, uh, directed.
Now, in this fool's errand, starting July 28, 2011, I'll spend 155 non-stop days listening to everything Johann Sebastian Bach composed.
For more information, see the A Year in the Life page above.
Don’t you intend to continue the complete Bach set you were already doing? Even though I found your blog only now, I’m enjoying your comments, which regard the same set I own. 🙂
I may go through the new Bach set I have. I haven’t decided yet. There’s a lot involved with this kind of a project. Takes 2-3 hours per day for nearly a year. I don’t seem to have as much time as I did the first time I undertook my year-long odyssey. But I’ve been seriously thinking about it.
