Overview
Experience the profound beauty of Johann Sebastian Bach's most intimate instrumental works, reimagined for the lute. This comprehensive collection features Nigel North, one of the world's leading lutenists, performing his own masterful transcriptions of Bach's complete works for solo violin and solo cello.
Originally recorded between 1994 and 1998, this 2007 box set from Linn Records brings together all four volumes of the "Bach on the Lute" series. Nigel North’s approach is not merely a translation of notes but a deep stylistic adaptation that honors the polyphonic capabilities of the lute while preserving the spiritual and emotional core of Bach’s original compositions. From the intricate Sonatas and Partitas for solo violin to the resonant and soulful Cello Suites, this set is a landmark achievement in Baroque recording.
Interesting Facts
- A Life's Work: Nigel North spent years refining these transcriptions. He has stated that his goal was to make the music sound as if Bach had originally composed it for the lute, rather than just "arranging" it.
- The Instrument: North typically performs these works on a 13-course baroque lute, an instrument that provides the range and depth necessary to cover the low registers of the cello and the complex harmonies of the violin.
- Audiophile Quality: Linn Records is renowned for its "Music for Life" philosophy, utilizing high-end recording techniques to ensure every nuance of the lute's delicate timber and the acoustic space is captured with "Precision Engineered Performance."
- Pedagogical Impact: These recordings and the accompanying published scores have become essential listening and study material for lute students and Bach enthusiasts worldwide.
