Jordi Savall made his version using an ancient sounding mixed consort, relating to the counterpoint in the canzoni of Frescobaldi and the like.

Brookshire's "Art of the Fugue" isn't on You Tube, but his terrific recording of the French Suites is, and that will give you an idea:

I love Bach, he is my favorite composer, but I just can't get a grip on the Art of the Fugue. I find it meandering and unfocused, I get really bored long before the end of it. Having said that, the Musica Antiqua Köln version is interesting.

Thanks for the Brookshire plug, listening to French Suites right now, like the performance (and the sound) a lot.

Any recommendations for Bach's Christmas Oratorio?

Herreweghe Bach always pretty good with tendency towards the genteel; this goes for instrumental / orchestral sonorities as well as performance per se. Still pretty good but... Rene Jacobs #1 

If you wanna try something else in genre, Telemann's Christmas cantatas are worth hearing-- the great C.P.E. Bachian Ludger Remy here conducting--
