English Suites For 2 Guitars

Description

Bach's keyboard works known as the English Suites offer a series of dance movements which, despite their name, owe more to earlier French and German models. This is the first of two recordings of the complete English Suites arranged for two guitars by the distinguished Montenegrin Guitar Duo. Transcriptions of Bach for solo guitar have been popular since the nineteenth century and the emergence of the guitar duo extends still further the potential for exciting and revelatory performances.Goran Krivokapic has won first-prizes at no fewer than 18 international competitions and his duo partner Danijel Cerovi? is a very experienced performer and teacher. Together their duo, the Montenegrin Guitar Duo, is performing a wide range of music - both historical and contemporary. Important to stress the unique nature of this premiere recording for guitar duo of the Bach English Suites. It's much more usual to hear a solo transcription but in recent years duo transcriptions have begun to appear - there are already duo transcriptions of Bach's Goldberg Variations - and this new disc takes transcription forward another gear.
