"Long ago, what J.S.Bach works trancscribed to guitar works was a little bad thing because such Bach works might distort the essential Bach works for the transcription. For instance the legendary guitarist, A.Segovia transcribed the most famouse works, violin partita Chaconnu to the guitar work. At that time, most people criticized him for the distortion of the Bach work. But as time goes by, the criticizm dissapeared. At the same time, there were people that thought the transcription was great. Ceartainly I think the same thing: even if Bach works for violins transcribe to guitar works, the minus poionts no exist. I can feel the Broque atmosphere for the great guitar sounds. The alpegio picking style by the guitar will blow the new wind to you who can not feel by the violin works.



Great things do not change, I think, even if that transcribe to other instruments, the essential things no change. This cd proved that.



Thank you for reading my poor writing."
