I appreciate anything about Bach I can find.

:)

Here is a one-hour long program solely on Bach's "Concerto in the Italian Style," available
as the first instalment in Lincoln Centre's webcast "What Makes It Great with Rob Kapilow"

Italian Concerto (look halfway down the page)

Mr Kapilow is as entertaining as he is enlightening, and his arrangement to have harpsichordist
Bradley Brookshire demonstrate and perform this music throughout suggests that this music sound
texturally most transparent on a two-manual harpsichord as the composer instructed. 

HIP for all and all for HIP! Harpsichord for Bach, fortepiano for Beethoven and pianoforte for Brahms!
