Listen to Bach (and others!). Follow the score!

I just found this web site: Bach Cantatas Website - Home Page
It has a fountain of information, but best of all, it allows me to enjoy the music while I follow the score.
If you have not tried this and if you read music, it is a wonderful way to enjoy it. You can follow the partiture and follow each instrument and voices.
Talking about instrument separation! You know exactly when the soloist will start and even sing along, follow the trumpets or the strings.
Just listened to Cantata BWV 206 that way.
I sure would like to know whom else listens to music this way. Go ahead and share your experience and web sites with music scores.

It is amazing how much is available out there in the web.
My next search will be for Mozart and Beethoven scores. I used to play a piano transcription of Beethoven's 5th, but following the score with Barenboim or Von Karajan directing, sounds like a real treat to me!

Looks interesting. Finished my Epic listening to all of Bach's Cantatas a while ago, then found out I have not listened/purchased the apocryphal cantatas. BWV 142 is one example although I have listened only to the piece included in this album. Very nice!.

If you didn't already know, there is also the huge library of scores at imslp.org, or more specifically, Category:Composers - IMSLP/Petrucci Music Library: Free Public Domain Sheet Music

I use this site to listen along with scores often, or print up piano scores to play myself. I have found some of the scores to have errors in them though(may have to do with why there is no longer any copy-write on them), but for the most part they are great!

This thread is turning into a treasure trove.
Thank you blackkeys.
Any idea on piano transcriptions from Bach's (non keyboard) music.
Other's , such as Beethoven's are also welcome. My 5th Symphony piano version (transcribed by Lizt) got ruined when my house flooded a few years ago.
The CD version played by Cyprien Katsaris is a must for piano/Beethoven's lovers.
