Johann Sebastian Bach Walter Gerwig - Lute Music
Review by Bhavansinh Thakur
Lute Music by Johann Sebastian Bach Walter Gerwig is a stunning album that showcases the composer's talent and the performer's skill. The album features a collection of pieces for the lute, performed by Walter Gerwig, a renowned lutenist.
The album is a delightful blend of intricate melodies and harmonies that transport the listener to a different era. Gerwig's performance is impeccable, with each note played with precision and clarity. The pieces range from lively dances to contemplative preludes, and each one is a masterpiece in its own right.
One of the highlights of the album is the Suite in E Minor, which consists of a prelude, allemande, courante, sarabande, bourree, and gigue. Gerwig's performance of this suite is outstanding, with each movement flowing seamlessly into the next, creating a cohesive and captivating musical experience.

About Johann Sebastian Bach Walter Gerwig
Johann Sebastian Bach was born on March 21, 1685 in Eisenach, Thuringia, Germany. A prolific German composer and organist, his sacred and secular works for choir, orchestra and solo instruments drew together the strands of the baroque genre and brought it to its ultimate maturity. Although he introduced no new forms, he enriched the prevailing German style with a robust contrapuntal technique, a control of harmonic and motivic organisation from the smallest to the largest scales, and the adaptation of rhythms and textures from abroad, particularly Italy and France. Many people consider him to be the greatest Baroque composer, and one of the greatest composers of all time.
Revered for their intellectual depth, technical command and artistic beauty, J.S. Bach's works include the Brandenburg concertos, the keyboard suites and partitas, the Mass in B Minor, the St. Matthew Passion, The Musical Offering, The Art of Fugue and a large number of cantatas, of which about 220 survive. He died on July 28, 1750.
Some of his sons also became composers - , , and .

A brief and mágical listening experience. Que bonita! Gracias David.

It's a work that can express music more skillfully in terms of harmony, and Bach also composed it to play with lute or harpsichord.
It is monotonous, but it also has a pleasant feeling. Thanks, sir!

Wunderschöne Interpretation dieses kompakten doch perfekt komponierten Vorspierls im lyrischen Tempo mit schimmerndem und gut artikuliertem Klang des technisch anspruchsvollen Instruments. Einfach wunderbar!

Супер. Хотелось бы ещё Леон Картун, Вальтер Гизекинг, Эдвин Фишер. Спасибо ?

Almost the same kind of arpegation that characterizes many of the preludes of Well-Tempered Clavier's first book is constant for a minute and a half of the prelude.
Thanks to David for introducing a very special performer!

Lovely sound and performance. Flows naturally with expressive moments, including echo effects. Charming in the way only a Bach fugue can be. Beautiful!!

Hoch kultivierte und wunderschöne Interpretation dieser perfekt komponierten Fuge im präzisen doch etwas lyrischen Tempo mit schimmerndem und klar artikuliertem Klang des technisch anspruchsvollen Instruments. Wahrlich intelligenter und genialer Virtuose!
