Re:J.S. Bach the Rebel: The subversive practice of a canonic... by madhadron on Friday October 18, 2019 @12:48PM (#21292889)
Someone's already mentioned Tafelmusik. I'll throw in some of my favorites as well:

Giuliano Carmagnola playing the Bach violin and harpsichord sonatas: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ziZPanY50-c

Jordi Savall and Ton Koopman, viola da gamba and harpsichord sonatas https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HayeiZb5CUA

Rachel Podger does quite a good recording of the Bach sonatas and partitas, but every violinist plays these (I mean that quite literally; violin competitions, modern or Baroque, regularly require a movement from these along side whatever else you do) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2e3eoOXeNs

also a master class of her teaching the Chaconne from these, which vies for the greatest piece ever written for violin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhcPDo3UPw0

Trevor Pinnock and the English Concert, Bach 4 harpsichord concerto (crank the volume on this one like you're listening to metal) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QA1L0SsEXxU&list=PLF81B6EFFA...

I'm going to stop now because I could do this for hours before we even get into other composers of the period.
