On the second volume of The Complete Clavier Suites of J.S. Bach, John Paul continues his phenomenal realizations of Bach"s clavier suites performed on the gut-strung lautenwerck (lute-harpsichord). The Clavier Suites of J.S. Bach are among the crowning glories of keyboard music in the Baroque Era. In them Bach combines German counterpoint with the current flavors of French and Italian musical fashion to produce nineteen works of gracefulness and brilliance. Here is a recording on a lautenwerck Peau de Buffle. The lute-like sound of gut strings gently brushed by soft leather quills displays at once the intimacy and the virtuosity of these marvelous works.
