The music of Bach is a reason to live, and to get his entire catalog of work in one shot is kind of unbelievable. Nothing else compares to the pure genius that is woven into each composition, and the more of this music you listen to the better a person you become.
Getting 155 CD's for around 80 bucks is a no-brainer, although you have to find room for a big blue brick of awesome. The performances I've heard so far are pretty decent, however if you want the keyboard works played to their potential you should invest in a Glenn Gould CD or two (especially the Goldberg Variations).

Available at the eye-popping price of less than one dollar per disc, this box set collects every surviving score by J.S. Bach on 155 CDs -- plus a bonus CD-ROM with texts and liner notes. Housed in space-saving slipcases, the discs are conveniently color coded by genre, making browsing and locating CDs a snap. Performers include noted Bach interpreters The Sixteen, La Stravaganza Köln with Andrew Manze, cellist Jaap ter Linden and Musica Amphion, while Bach's cantatas are heard in new recordings made for the label, featuring period instruments and a boy's choir. Brilliant Classics' companion box sets of the complete works of Mozart and Beethoven are also available.
