Search - Andrew York, Johann Sebastian Bach :: Into Dark

Important Bach Performance

"This is a fine cd, including many of Andrew's original compositions. York studied cello as a youth. His performance of the Bach cello suite is the only one of which I am aware that plays only the notes actually written by Bach rather than supplying bass notes and ornaments. It is a very distinct, concentrated, almost primal version of the piece that is in all likelihood truer to Bach's intentions."

Disappointing follow-up

"Unfortunately, after a ten year hiatus from solo guitar composing, York copped out with this release which he shamelessly fills with 21 minutes of a Bach cello suite which everyone else has recorded; and, the cello suite, doesn't fit with the rest of the CD.



Check out Denouement to hear how good York used to be.

"Andrew is the man. He operates on a different plain than other gutiarists and many of us wish we were there! This is a great batch of tunes with a variety of moods. Most classical guitar discs get momotonous after 5 tracks, but andrew keeps it going till the end. If you're looking for a recording of "sunburst" it's here and worth the price of the disc alone, but check out clips of "marley's ghost" and "evening dance," his other more popular works. a bach cello suite arranged for guitar makes this the perfect cd if you are just looking for a classical guitar cd for your collection."
