Among the Guardian's Bach celebrations today is a list of places where you can download some of the composer's best-known works. We limited our research to sites that work for both Macs and PCs, and to sites that are legal for UK users (as a rough guideline, if a site looks too good to be true, it probably is). However, any such list is of course only a starting point. Send us your suggestions, tell us what sites we've overlooked, or perhaps which Bach recording you'd most like to see available as a download.
Talking of which, despite the success of their Beethoven downloads earlier this summer, Radio 3 will not be offering any music for free download as part of their Bach Christmas. There's an interesting discussion on why this might not be such a bad thing at classical music blog On An Overgrown Path.
