Elizabeth Farr (lute-harpsichord) Johann Sebastian Bach wrote music for the lute throughout his career. He had in his possession not only a lute but also two lute-harpsichords (Lautenwerke), gut-strung keyboard instruments allowing a fuller range of sound than the normal lute. For the present recording Elizabeth Farr plays a lute-harpsichord reconstructed by Keith Hill from Bach’s own specification for one of his two instruments. Elizabeth Farr has been the recipient of many awards for her early music playing, including first prize in the Magnum Opus Harpsichord Competition in Michigan. |

| |  | Bach - Intavolatura
“Should you think this to be just one more recording of this music on the lute, I assure you it is not. In his notes Lislevand spells out his approach to the music in detail, at times more for the benefit of those who understand the plucked-string instruments than for that of the general reader and, as one whose mastery of his instrument is total, he effortlessly translates his words into musical reality. These are not dry academic exercises but performances in which the music flows naturally and expressively, with eloquent use of rubato and the occasional use of vibrato as an ornament. … This is a stimulating, thought-provoking disc and in every aspect it is of the highest quality.” Gramophone | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

Bach, J S: | Partita for solo violin No. 2 in D minor, BWV1004: Chaconne The Chaconne was composed in Cöthen north of Leipzig about 1720 and forms part of the Partita No. 2 in D minor for solo violin. Since this particular movement distinguishes itself from the other parts of the suite, both in character and length, it is commonly performed alone. Numerous composers have paid homage to this work by transcribing it for every possible instrument and ensemble. Lute Suite No. 1 in E minor, BWV996 Lute Suite No. 2 in C minor, BWV997 |
The Suite in E Minor and the Suite in C Minor, composed sometime between 1707–17 and 1740–41 respectively, have been the subject of a great deal of speculation since no manuscripts of the works in Bach’s hand have been discovered. Nevertheless, scholars are agreed that the suites really were composed by Johann Sebastian Bach though whether he actually intended them for the lute is still a matter for discussion. Perhaps Bach himself would not have expended much time on such speculation since he freely transcribed his works for different instruments often shifting to keys that best suited the intended instrument. “Having now worked so intensively with Bach’s music in preparing this recording, I have again been reminded that his compositions constantly offer new discoveries. And this is one of the reasons why it is so rewarding to return yet again to his music, however familiar we may believe that we are with it.” Georg Gulyás | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |

Frederic Zigante (guitar) Why play the music of Bach on the guitar? There are a number
of answers but they all pale in comparison with that made by
Paul Badura Skoda: "We do not play early music to immerse
spiritually in another era, but because it delights and moves us
today".
The present recording comprises all of the works for lute by
Bach, together with the Chaconne. "Zigante is an ideal performer for this music, extracting the maximum from the music and eschewing
overstatement" Gramophone | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
