Description
On this release, one is able to enjoy both Bach's 5 Preludes and Staffan Isbäck's 5 Prologues. The preludes by Bach are followed by his famous Fugue for lute as well as the highly poetic Sarabande from the second suite for lute. Jim Nilsson, guitarist, has a soloist diploma from Hochschule für Musik in Basel, and performs on a seven-string, 1820-replica guitar made by Lars Jönsson. The result is a tone carrying both the spirit of the lute and the warmth and dynamics of the guitar. By Staffan Isbäck, there are also three fantasies after themes by Jerome Kern, Chick Corea and Duke Ellington – not in any way jazz-like, but definite homages. The suite Den andra enkelheten (The Second Simplicity) creates a bridge to the music of Bach. The collection also contains Theme and Variation of Värmlandsvisa and two pieces from Sex Svenska slott (Six Swedish Palaces).
