Kudos BCW

The Bach 333 JS Bach Complete New Edition from the Leipzig Bach Archive https://www.prestomusic.com/classical/products/8469462--bach-333-the-new-complete-edition
includes in Bach: The Music book a "Resources Online" (p. 220) listing:

"www.bach-cantatas.com; Moderated by Aryeh Oron, this is not just a Cantata site, but one of the most impressive sites devoted to any composer in any language. Comprehensive, mainly up-to-date documentation, particularly on Bach's vocal works and their recordings, with extensive discussion threads. An essential reference tool for anyone interested in Bach."

This is the 4th resource following the Bach Archive and its Bach Digital and Bach general, www.jsbach.de, and is followed by the Bach (UK) Network, the Bach Archive's Bach Digital, www.jsbach.org, Luke Dahn's www.bach-chorales.com, and the www.imslp.org music publications.

The Bach 333 also has a printed BWV3 Catalogue in advance of the Bach Archive BWV3 publication due by 2020, which includes the latest BWV numbers to BWV 1175 plus a listing of doubtful works in the Appendices A-D in decreasing order of authenticity, as well as "Cantatas by Liturgical Use," "Works A-Z," and "Artists A-Z" in the accompanying 222 CDs. This latest information will be added to the BCW Discussion,"BWV Numbering System," http://www.bach-cantatas.com/Topics/BWVSystem-4.htm.

Your BCW continues to shine as a stronghold of culture. Even Der Alte Bach would have been very pleased with your work.

Have a great 2019!

Ed Myskowski [BCML] wrote (January 14, 2019):
Best wishes for another year, forthcoming, of additions to the Bach Cantatas Website, already an encyclopedic reference resource as confirmed by Will's post. In addition, in our world of "alternate facts" and raging rumors, BCW is an example of human communication at its finest. In words attributed to Marshall McCluhan (in a commentary re R. Buckminster Fuller's book): <There are no passengers on Spaceship Earth, we are all crew>. May we manage to get the job done.

I'd like to start by complimenting you on your Bach Cantatas Website. What a wonderful resource!

Your profile of my grandfather, Alfred M. Greenfield, is the most thorough article of his professional life and accomplishments. I found your site while trying to find the birth year of my grandmother Elsie for one of my daughter's school projects. Although I didn't find what I set out to, what I did find was much more personally enriching.
