Well, you look at Bach too narrow in my view.  You can’t forgive him for being a composer and you are a musician.  As I said above, I more interested nowadays in Bach music as a “background music” for a special ceremony. Ironically some of his works contain a lot more than an embellished repetition of 4 voices. The performance aspect is not relevant to me anymore. I do not specifically advocate one performance over other, even though I do have preferences. If you know Bach, then the fact the I chose 582 and not let way the chromatic fugue should give you the idea where I am coming from. Do not get pissed that Bach wrote music and you happened to know how to read or play it. Do not degrade Bach to just being a very prolific composer. Some events he created were more significant than just musicality. The event of making let say 582 plays in church or in playback are just musical events. My point is that it might be more than just musical event in the way I use audio nowadays. It is hard to explain, and I have no knowing to me reference as most of it was “invented” by me. It is much easier to “get” if you stop use words “music” and start to use the word “ceremony”.  Some of the mechanisms Back used in his ceremonies are more interesting than I’s only musical context. I like it when you write how you understand Bach sound in context of your playback. Now, pretend that you are not a human who can play music but let say a monkey or a dolphin, what would be difference?
