Bach Johann Sebastian - Guitar Music

Facts Bach's music is often described as indestructible, in the sense that no matter how it is performed, or in whichever arrangement, it's essential spirit survives. Therefore transcriptions of the Master's works are common, today as they were in Bach's time (Bach (1685-1750) himself was an ardent transcriber!). This new recording presents instrumental works by Bach transcribed for and played on the modern guitar. The selection includes works written originally for lute BWV 996, 997 and 998, and the Sonata BWV 1003 and Partita BWV 1004, originally written for solo violin. Arcady Ivannikov is one of Russia's leading guitarists, a key figure in the popularization of his instrument in his home country, having organized numerous concerts and festivals.
