I am quite amazed this CD has not already been reviewed. Toby Cockburn David Perrine said: A kinder, gentler version of these violin pieces. As Fisk points out in the liner notes, Bach himself reworked several of these pieces for other instruments, often in a lower register. Problems with playing chords are eliminated on the guitar and they ring longer as well. Fisk's supple right hand allows him to bring out the counterpoint by varying the tone and articulation. Excellent recording!
