Again, totally different tastes. Brandenburg Concertos, while quite popular, are not as intricate and deep (and hence dark) as most of the rest of his work. And as such, perhaps more accessible to most people on this planet who think of music as something to bring them joy. Sweetness and light. That sort of thing. "Art of the Fugue"? Is that Tocatta & Fugue? I would heartily suggest you listen to Bach's violin concertos - four violins playing at the same time, from start to finish. Two melodies going side by side, at equal volume, and the other two in the background. Very impressive. Re Mozart etc - I don't really like symphonic classical music. All those instruments, percussions, etc. Just doesn't grab me. Feels like lift music, to be brutally honest. I just listen to baroque within classical music. I never would have thought of Bach as Gothic That's just my personal description :-) although he does have quite a lot of organ pieces that were played in gothic cathedrals for a long long time...
