I'm very happy to present my arrangement and publication of Alessandro Marcello's famous Concerto in D minor, originally for oboe and strings. Available through Les Productions d'Oz

This arrangement draws heavily upon J.S. Bach's adaptation of this concerto for solo harpsichord BWV 974.
Please Enjoy!

Bach would be proud of you. Amazing - and looks so effortless as true mastery should.

[@freefree7883]

it's not a composition by Bach but by Alessandro Marcello

[@sandezgeo]

Right. Its A. Marcello. Bach probably arranged it for solo keyboard. Then maybe they transcribed to guitar. I cant get enough of this interpretation. These guitarrist are truly guitar geniuses.

[@daevaskye]

@@freefree7883 The Marcello-Bach concerto is in the usual three movements of an Italian instrumental concerto. Here they are: 1. unmarked (Allegro assumed), 2. Adagio, 3. Presto. The shell of the first movement is very clearly Marcello's work; but Bach is quick to thicken the lean, open textures of the original -- at the center of the movement things grow very dense indeed, with imitative, hand-against-hand sixteenth notes building up to eight-voice chords. The Adagio has a limber solo line atop steady eighth notes, while the Presto finale is a 3/8 time romp in near-continuous sixteenth notes, and almost exclusively in two contrapuntal voices. Description by Blair Johnston

[@mauronocito3044]

La perfección de Bach en manos de dos perfeccionistas del sonido. Absolutamente amalgamados, con tono sedoso y puro, sin alardes de virtuosismo sin sentido. Una pureza a temporal. Gracias por tocar mi alma, gracias, gracias!

Soy guitarrista clásico y se bien que lograr lo que logra este dúo no es fácil. Que lindo!! No endulzan demasiado el sonido ni tampoco lo hacen metálico. Tampoco caen en un romanticismo excesivo en el Adagio (si, haters, ya se que es Barroco, pero es una tentación en la que algunos caen). Tienen un toque muy equilibrado, una coordinación hermosa y un manejo de la intensidad admirable.

@@franciscojuniorcanal Hoje não tenho certeza sobre a versão do irmão Benedetto Marcello. (Faz já um tempo que fiquei intrigado com as versões e investiguei) O fato é que peguei a partitura no IMSLP e o que ouvi não correspondia a partitura. Li em algum lugar que os 2 irmãos competiam e atribuí a versão de cello e orgão (que acho melhor) ao irmão. Mas acho que a violocelista simplesmente usou o Bach, tal como os violonistas aqui.
