CD Reviews

Best Bach on Guitar

A music fan | 05/08/2004

(5 out of 5 stars)

"The best performance on guitar of Bach's complete solo lute works, period. This 2 CD box set is highly recommended.

Yepes was a consummate technician and a knowledgeable interpreter of all musical idioms from the Middle Ages through to the height of the 20th Century avant-garde. His playing was characterized by intelligence, sensibility, clarity, power, majesty, poetry, and a devilish ability to separate and sustain contrapuntal lines. He was also an innovator of the instrument, having designed the modern 10-stringed guitar. This instrument enables the guitarist to perform works composed for the baroque lute in their integral form."

Great Bach Renditions!

"For whatever reason, time has kind of forgotten Narciso Yepes' contribution to the guitar.. He was playing the 10 string guitar before anybody else was using modified classical guitars to play repertoire.... He makes use of the extended range to play these pieces... Great arrangements and interpretations of these Bach guitar works..."
