Bach
Two awesome Bach pages:
1. Via Father Jim Tucker, here's a page where you can listen to recordings of all of Bach's organ works. By comparison, the box set from Marie-Claire Alain takes up 14 CDs.
2. Via Crooked Timber, here's a page where you can listen to recordings of the entire Das Wohltemperierte Klavier. What's more, a running graphic follows along with the score, while an even more elaborate graphic actually maps out the various themes and sections as they appear. You can also read a detailed textual analysis of each piece. Just fascinating. One of my favorites has always been the Fugue in F-minor, which features a theme that is highly chromatic and, indeed, is almost a tone-row.
