However, I have never heard a series, however partial and however somewhat flawed, that I didn't like (the Helmut Rilling uses the harpsichord along with the organ in the continuo for reasons that are a mystery to me, but I do not find it offensive). You are attempting something I was never able to accomplish. I'd go straight to Amazon for this one and listen to samples if they have them. Another problem is that some series organize them strictly by BWV number, while others organize them by theme, so you can't just play the game of filling in gaps. The problem is I lack the funds to own any complete set before it goes out of print (unless I want to spend my disposable income on nothing but Bach Cantatas, and even I am not that much of a fanatic), and that goes back all the way to the Harnoncourt LPs on Telefunken which were the first complete set. Well, I have examples of all of them (including the Ton Koopman, which is what I presume you are referring to) and they are all good.
