Well, we in Philadelphia get to hear his big sacred choral pieces occasionally. In recent seasons the Philadelphia Orchestra has done St. Matthew Passion and their concertmaster, David Kim, has played the 2nd violin concerto. They're performing the B minor Mass this December. And the Stokowski transcriptions of the organ music still show up on their summer programs and special (non-subscription) retrospect/nostalgia concerts (like reprises of the original Fantasia music). He isn't represented as extensively as Beethoven or Brahms (or Tchaikovsky or Ravel). But maybe that has something to do with all of the musicians who have to be paid not to play when Bach is on the program.

Smaller, maybe less internationally known ensembles' programs may include more Bach. Except for the big choral pieces, he seems to have become the property of chamber orchestras. And "politically correct" or "stylistically authentic" is probably more an issue for internationally-acclaimed and **recorded** ensembles, conductors and solo performers whose careers and followings depend on critical reaction more than local or regional performers may.
