![]() ![]() A less caloric package, minus the cantatas (described by one representative of the company as ''Bach Light''), will cost you $849.97. Eleven hundred ninety-nine dollars and ninety-seven cents, please. If each plastic jewel box measures three-eighths of an inch in thickness, allow for almost two yards of music. No time out for naps or bathroom breaks either. According to my crude powers of calculation ''Bach 2000,'' as this project is trademarked, competes with Genesis: a creation-making seven days of listening and no seventh day of rest. Volume 7 has motets, songs and 371 chorales. Think of the expanse: 153 compact discs released in 12 volumes, 71 CD's of the sacred cantatas alone, 35 more for organ and other keyboard pieces. Never mind when I would listen to it where would I put it? The Teldec company hasn't offered to send me its recorded collection of Johann Sebastian Bach's music complete, but if it does, I have a gracious letter of refusal ready.
