J. S. Bach Prelude from BWV 1007 Gregory Hamilton Baroque Lute

When J. S. Bach was living in Köthen with his second wife Anna Magdalena in the period 1717-1723 and serving as Kapellmeister, he composed his "Six Suites for Violincello without a Bass". The six suites, which form a cornerstone of the cello literature, survive in an important copy by Anna Magdalena. Anna was a professional singer and became a very important copyist of Johann's music. Anna's music script, was sometimes so close to Johann's that scholars sometimes could not tell them apart - perhaps an indication of the harmony in the Bach household. This iconic Prelude, which forms an architectonic entrance into the world of the suites, is a distillation of the harmonic and rhetorical language of Bach, and has been performed on just about every musical instrument.
This realization for lute is by Gregory Hamilton, in D major.
Wilfrid Mellers described the cello suites in 1980 as "Monophonic music wherein a man has created a dance of God".
