Bach's Concerto for Keyboard in D Minor is, in my opinion, his most underrated composition, and rivaled in intensity only by the much more famous Toccata and Fugue in D Minor. Originally written for harpsichord, this performance is given on the piano, which brings out the full intensity and power of the piece. It is one of my all-time favorites of any musical genre:
