About this product
The six Cello Suites represent J. S. Bach's genius at it's most distilled, with the composer confronting the enigma of writing counterpoint for a monophonic instrument at it's core. Jeffrey McFadden's arrangement for guitar enhances the music, adding a harmonic dimension and making the implied interaction of voices explicit. The Suites contain some of the most fascinating and beautiful movements in all of Bach's oeuvre, and remain one of the most important works in the history of Western music. 'Jeffrey McFadden not only is an extraordinary guitarist - he's also an inspired musician' (ClassicsToday. Com on Naxos 8. 554354, works by Napoléon Coste).

J.S. Bach's Cello Suites are believed to have been written in the Saxon town of Cöthen between 1717 and 1723. They stand near the apex of Bach's compositions for a single instrument and contain some of his most beautiful and vivid writing. Jeffrey McFadden's guitar arrangements augment these elements with their own harmonic complexity, creating a new string medium for these epochal works. Volume 1, containing the first three suites, is on 8.573625. 'McFadden's ability to make the guitar sing is second to none' (Daily Telegraph, UK). J.S. Bach's six Cello Suites have been arranged for guitar in the past, with Francisco Tárrega starting this tradition in the 19th century, followed by the likes of Andrés Segovia and John W. Duarte. Each new arrangement brings contemporary thinking and fresh insights and research, and Jeffrey McFadden's superb transcriptions have been applauded at numerous concert performances in which he was able to refine and hone his approach in advance of these recordings.
