Synopsis

Album Description
"The six suites for unaccompanied cello by Johann Sebastian Bach must rank as one of the greatest body of works for any stringed instrument played solo. Here we have them transcribed and played on the guitar by Andreas von Wangeheim, and a most convincing job he makes of them... a disc well worth exploring." - MusicWeb InternationalBach's famous suites for cello solo from a different perspective: in order to emphasize the polyphonic structure of this marvelous music, Andreas von Wangenheim has transcribed them for guitar. The Six Suites for Violoncello Solo put the instrument through its paces in the same way as the Six Sonatas and Partitas for Violin Solo. A closer look at these works reveals a fascinating element of Bach's compositional art: the polyphony that is concealed in almost all of his solo lines. Andreas von Wangenheim is considered one of the finest guitarists of the younger generation. He won the 1987 Bach Prize at the International Guitar Competition for Students in Europe. His CD Orlando was awarded Audiophile CD of the Month by the specialist press in September 1990.
