Here are the details:

J.S. Bach
The Master
Let me say a word about the Bach. This is not your didactic, profound Bach. I take that back—Bach is always profound. This is your joyful, dancing Bach. This is the Bach who can evoke feelings you can’t put into words. You will love this music. (And the Beethoven is fun, too!)
