Day Seventeen: Lute Works, Part Two (CD 1-17)

August 13th, 2011 · No Comments · 1720, 1725, 1740, Bach at 35, Bach at 40, Bach at 55, BWV 1000, BWV 1006a, BWV 998, BWV 999, CD 1-17, Jakob Lindberg, Lute, Lute Works, Suite in E major Gavotte en rondeau

Bach Edition 17This CD is amazing. It, and the one preceding it, are wonders to behold. The Lute — especially as played with such feeling and precision as Jakob Lindberg demonstrates — is a marvelous instrument. It looks to be difficult to master. And it may be. But those who do scale its heights reward those who merely long to do so.

Today’s CD features another famous piece of music: Suite in E major (BWV 1006a), the third movement: “Gavotte en rondeau.”

You’ll know it when you hear it. Take a look:

See? I told you. Everyone’s heard this.

I’ll be enjoying this CD for many years to come. It features four compositions, all of which were magical. I very much enjoyed listening to them.

The compositions on today’s CD are:
BWV 998 — 1740 (Bach was 55)
BWV 999 — 1720 (Bach was 35)
BWV 1000 — 1725 (Bach was 40)
BWV 1006a — 1720 (Bach was 35)
