Pourtant, Bach lui-même n'a rien écrit pour la guitare. A sa mort, Bach laissa, en plus de son luth, deux "Lauten Werck". Il s'agissait d'instruments à clavier avec des cordes en boyau, conçus pour ressembler à un luth. L'un des deux a été l'instrument spécialement fabriqué pour Bach selon ses spécifications par le facteur d'orgues Zacharias Hildebrandt ; peut-être l'autre a-t-il été fabriqué par son second cousin Johann Nicolaus Bach, l'un des rares autres facteurs connus. Une suggestion évidente est que la musique pour luth a été écrite pour le clavier. Mais il y a parfois des passages qui dépassent la portée des deux mains, de sorte que la solution est peut-être plus compliquée. Bach reçut en 1739 la visite du plus grand luthiste contemporain, Sylvius Leopold Weiss, et le rencontra sans doute à d'autres occasions, puisque Weiss faisait partie de l'établissement musical de la cour de Saxe à Dresde, où Bach occupait le poste de compositeur honoraire. Peut-être Bach avait-il l'intention d'écrire de la musique pour le luth, mais, sachant combien il était difficile d'écrire de façon idiomatique pour lui, il a laissé aux luthistes le soin de s'adapter. Dans l'état actuel des choses, la musique pour luth de Bach doit être adaptée pour être jouée au luth, de sorte que les changements minimes nécessaires pour l'adapter à la guitare sont tout aussi acceptables.

Did music world was that stupid??

[@nicolasguillen6028]

Gracias por compartir la gran maestría de eduardo

[@jean-francoismasson3361]

EXCEPTIONNEL!!! FABULEUX !!de loin le meilleur interprète de ces suites,la précision,le rythme,le relief des voix,la compréhension de la partition, le seul qui fait à la reprise des ornements comme le veut la tradition,etc....un grand Monsieur !

[@p.g.2701]

Stefan Schmidt n'est pas mal non plus dans le même répertoire…

[@viz8746]

This is for me at least the very best Bach Lute Suites recording I have ever listened to. I remember when I heard this recording for the first time back in 1993 on Decca London’s double CD (which I still have), I didn’t know what hit me. I had heard Segovia, Bream, Williams, Parkening, Fisk and others but this was just another level. The trills, mordents , syncopation, cadences are all masterful. still brings tears to my eyes when I listen to it now after 30 years. My Bach is basically modeled after him (perhaps too much 😄).

[@richardwaples5200]

Chaconne kills me every time- such breadth, such depth, I don't know how a human mind can conceive such a thing. Outstanding performance btw...

[@elvionadalutti-grenon194]

EDUARDO FERNANDEZ es un excelso guitarrista que tocando Bach me emociona hasta las lágrimas, gracias por tanta música maestro.

[@BradConroy_guitar]

The more that I listen to this the more I understand that this is the definitive version of the Bach Lute Suites. The maestro was way ahead of the curve in terms of his ornamentation. Bravo!

[@curaticac5391]

This sounds closer to the guitar sound; forty years ago they were not processing the sound electronically as much as they do today. Excellent musician and performance. Thank you for sharing!

[@michaelletellier218]

Another of the exceptional recordings being made available to us by Classical Music/Reference Recording. For me, after many years living in Spain and with my love of Bach, and Segovia, this interpretation resonates with magic and intelligence and quite simply, with beauty. Thank you for sharing this superb performance.

[@ecdavek230]

Have listen to this now maybe a dozen times. It never disappoints. Wonderful.

[@TheModernHermeticist]

The embellishment at 44:11 is insanely good.

[@TheModernHermeticist]

oh, and at 1:10:09... also amazing embellishments.

[@virtualpilgrim8645]

Thanks

[@marionjuettges6122]

Tan hermoso con esa guitarra. Wow. Me gusta la interpretación más que el violín. No lo creí posible.

[@Marctull66]

Wonderful album that I discovered in 1991, and finally found a few years later... A real must-have.... I wish I had other album by this Eduardo Fernandez.... It's an essential recording of Bach's works.

[@bossanovaboy]

One of the best interpretations of Bach's lute works I ever heard.

[@benjaminkiesewetter6690]

This is outstanding!

[@fe12rrps]

Beautiful renditions with the guitar! Gives me a deeper appreciation of the suite. I love how this form brings together German, French, Spanish and English dance forms to create one work.

[@michaelwood5554]

What an achievement. Congratulations.

[@annemiebock7292]

Danke, wundervoll diese Interpretation von Bachs Lauten- Suiten! Inspiriert und technisch brillant vorgetragen! Respekt vor dem genialen Bach und seinem hervorragenden Interpreten!!!!

[@michaeldavidrubin3964]

This is an interpretation & performance that brings an aspect of Bach's (apparent) intention to life, & very individually. Fernández has made transcriptions here that suit his evident enthusiasm for these works, & bring energy & confidence to his playing. His almost throwaway bravura embellishments express something very Spanish (I have a Spanish Mama) - in fact, it has almost a Flamenco sensibility, which I consider high praise when integrated with the discipline of Bach's structures. As to tempos: nothing seems to upset some listeners more than varying their familiar pace in certain works. I think that strength & consistency of interpretation overrides this type of objection, especially when intensity of feeling & fine, even, as here, brilliant technique are applied authentically. The accompanying notes are quite interesting; I wonder if the old debate about the Dm Suite & Chaconne's possible origin as a lute/vihuela work might gain insight from them (probably not to those musicologists who are infuriated by the suggestion...). This deserves many more listeners, & CD purchases - I shall buy one for myself, certainly.

[@Marctull66]

It's pretty rare now, I'm afraid... I saw one on sale from Discogs, today - 19-07-2021, but only in the USA... a real pity as this man has got such a talent ! Whne i finally found it n, quite a number fop years after searchiong for it in the late 90's, it was like a treasure, really. Having a copy wasn't the same, and the notes he wrote in the booklet are very interesting.

[@thomasvick1755]

I NEVER get tired of this

Bellísima interpretación de un músico genial como es Bach!!!!! ¡Gracias por tanto!!!!

Bach wrote these as dances and Fernandez is certainly dancing. No one plays them with more ease.

[@RichardPennington]

beautiful music ruined by commercials!!!

[@tomaszsmoka252]

IMO - too fast.

[@VictorHernandez-tn7zc]

Todo grandioso solo que me gustaría menos brillante el sonido . Puede ser cuestión de grabación !

[@woodarmor5899]

les tempi sont trop rapides , le monsieur doit vouloir montrer ces "corones" , j'ai l'impression d'entendre un marteau piqueur ... dommage , ce n'est pas de la musique , mais de la gymnastique ...... désolé je zappe et referme la porte du frigo ... bizh

[@atiliocarlosborsani247]

Ho notato parecchia povertà di suono.

[@mentalitydesignvideo]

what's the rush, is he in a hurry to get lunch? jeez, 50% faster than makes sense

[@thomasikosovo]

I think it is supposed to be this fast. Have heard other recordings in about the same pace.

[@ellenravelli6254]

I hate this...bye

[@musguit]

Why?

[@lawrencetendler2342]

Ellen Ravelli , " HATE " is a VERY strong word, it is enough for to state that you do not like this recording or do not care for it .

[@michaelletellier218]

Good riddance ... bye.

[@shonzy8984]

Always thank God and never hate anything , specially those great classical guitarists, it's not easy what he is playing,,god bless you and your family
