Bach is always regarded as the flagship bearer of Baroque music, but I found his music to have transcended the style. It just felt universal and seems catered towards all sorts of sensibilities. When it's interpreted with more modern instruments, his music becomes transfigured, thus achieving its timeless status. The everyman composer I would say.
Zelenka on the other hand though is really of his time and requires a more trained ear. Nothing wrong with that, especially when a strong sense of history and curiosity of the past figures in my appreciation of certain kinds of music. He's the one composer who can make the oboe and bassoon really sing. I'm not so crazy about his Masses but I can listen to his chamber music, particularly his trio sonatas, for days on end.
