Especially to Bach newcomers, I would recommend the Brandenburg concertos and orchestral suites. I love the performance by Trevor Pinnock / The English Concert: http://www.amazon.com/Bach-Brandenburg-Concertos-Orchestral-Suites/dp/B0000057D8 http://www.amazon.com/Bach-Brandenburg-Concertos-Orchestral-... My favorite Bach recording has to be Glenn Gould's The Art of Fugue (but it is perhaps not as accessible). The Mass in B minor is also incredible (don't have a specific recording to point to there).

As with Vivaldi, I'm partial to Il Giardino Armonico. e.g. Bach: Concerto for violin in A minor http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rmlsxr_ceSc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rmlsxr_ceSc Vivaldi: Concerto for 2 violoncellos, strings & b.c. in G minor http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gQCUACBxTo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gQCUACBxTo
