Description:

This is an ambitious album of J.S. Bach's works performed on the arch lute (a large lute, a passive bass instrument that replaces the theorbo). This ambitious album features J.S. Bach's works performed on the arch-lute (a large lute, a bass instrument that replaces the theorbo). The famous Chaconne from the Suite No. 1 for Unaccompanied Cello and the 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.
