Simply Beautiful!!!

Louie Bourland | Garden Grove CA | 08/03/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Bert Lams, Belgian guitarist and one third of the multi-faceted group The California Guitar Trio, has released an extraordinary solo debut with "Nascent", a collection of J.S. Bach Preludes performed on solo steel-string acoustic guitar.

While the arrangements and performing style of these pieces are in the typical style of Lams and the CGT, the spirit of Bach is very much present throughout the entire disc. It is definitely a Classical disc with an early Windham Hill Label flavor added to it and the end result is simply beautiful.

Hats off to Bert Lams for creating such a brilliant solo debut. Bach's spirit is most likely looking down on this project with a big smile.

A must for Bach fans as well as for fans of the solo acoustic music of Steve Howe, Steve Hackett and artists on the original Windham Hill Label."
