Bach: Cello Suites, Vol. 1 (Arranged for Guitar) / McFadden
The six Cello Suites represent J.S. Bachâs genius at its most distilled, with the composer confronting the enigma of writing counterpoint for a monophonic instrument at its core. Jeffrey McFaddenâs 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. âJeffrey McFadden not only is an extraordinary guitarist â heâs also an inspired musicianâ (ClassicsToday.com on Naxos 8.554354, works by NapolĂ©on Coste).

REVIEW:
McFadden avoids the result coming too close to a version for harpsichord, though the guitar can never equate to the range of tonal colours available from a solo cello, nor, for that matter the dynamic range of the instrument. Though we do hear fingers moving around the fret, let me conclude this short review by admiring the clean-cut playing of this world famous Canadian guitarist. We can now look forward to the second disc.
