Bach

[Machine Translation] An ambitious album of J.S. Bach's works performed on the arch-lute (a large lute, replacing the theorbo as a passive bass instrument). The famous Suite No. 1 for unaccompanied cello and the Chaconne from the Suite No. 2 for unaccompanied violin are performed on the arch lute. The famous Chaconne from Suite No. 1 for Unaccompanied Cello and Suite No. 2 for Unaccompanied Violin are skillfully transposed to the lute by the performer Thomas Dunford, and the dazzling and astonishing performance of the Chaconne, which is difficult to play even on the violin, is a particular treat.

Note: This is an import edition (manufactured outside of Japan).

J.S.バッハの作品をアーチリュート (大きいリュートの意。テオルボに代わる通奏低音楽器)で演奏するという意欲的なアルバム。有名な無伴奏チェロ組曲第1番と、無伴奏ヴァイオリン組曲第2番のシャコンヌは、演奏者トーマス・ダンフォード自身の編曲により、巧みにリュートへと移し替えられており、とりわけヴァイオリンでも演奏困難なシャコンヌでの目のくらむような驚異的な演奏が聴きもの。
