This is for me at least the very best Bach Lute Suites recording I have ever listened to. I remember when I heard this recording for the first time back in 1993 on Decca London’s double CD (which I still have), I didn’t know what hit me. I had heard Segovia, Bream, Williams, Parkening, Fisk and others but this was just another level. The trills, mordents , syncopation, cadences are all masterful. still brings tears to my eyes when I listen to it now after 30 years. My Bach is basically modeled after him (perhaps too much 😄).
EXCEPTIONNEL!!! FABULEUX !!de loin le meilleur interprète de ces suites,la précision,le rythme,le relief des voix,la compréhension de la partition, le seul qui fait à la reprise des ornements comme le veut la tradition,etc....un grand Monsieur !
Another of the exceptional recordings being made available to us by Classical Music/Reference Recording. For me, after many years living in Spain and with my love of Bach, and Segovia, this interpretation resonates with magic and intelligence and quite simply, with beauty. Thank you for sharing this superb performance.
Wonderful album that I discovered in 1991, and finally found a few years later... A real must-have.... I wish I had other album by this Eduardo Fernandez.... It's an essential recording of Bach's works.
This is an interpretation & performance that brings an aspect of Bach's (apparent) intention to life, & very individually. Fernández has made transcriptions here that suit his evident enthusiasm for these works, & bring energy & confidence to his playing. His almost throwaway bravura embellishments express something very Spanish (I have a Spanish Mama) - in fact, it has almost a Flamenco sensibility, which I consider high praise when integrated with the discipline of Bach's structures. As to tempos: nothing seems to upset some listeners more than varying their familiar pace in certain works. I think that strength & consistency of interpretation overrides this type of objection, especially when intensity of feeling & fine, even, as here, brilliant technique are applied authentically. The accompanying notes are quite interesting; I wonder if the old debate about the Dm Suite & Chaconne's possible origin as a lute/vihuela work might gain insight from them (probably not to those musicologists who are infuriated by the suggestion...). This deserves many more listeners, & CD purchases - I shall buy one for myself, certainly.
It's pretty rare now, I'm afraid... I saw one on sale from Discogs, today - 19-07-2021, but only in the USA... a real pity as this man has got such a talent ! Whne i finally found it n, quite a number fop years after searchiong for it in the late 90's, it was like a treasure, really. Having a copy wasn't the same, and the notes he wrote in the booklet are very interesting.
Beautiful renditions with the guitar! Gives me a deeper appreciation of the suite. I love how this form brings together German, French, Spanish and English dance forms to create one work.
This sounds closer to the guitar sound; forty years ago they were not processing the sound electronically as much as they do today. Excellent musician and performance. Thank you for sharing!
The more that I listen to this the more I understand that this is the definitive version of the Bach Lute Suites. The maestro was way ahead of the curve in terms of his ornamentation. Bravo!
les tempi sont trop rapides , le monsieur doit vouloir montrer ces "corones" , j'ai l'impression d'entendre un marteau piqueur ... dommage , ce n'est pas de la musique , mais de la gymnastique ...... désolé je zappe et referme la porte du frigo ... bizh
Danke, wundervoll diese Interpretation von Bachs Lauten- Suiten! Inspiriert und technisch brillant vorgetragen! Respekt vor dem genialen Bach und seinem hervorragenden Interpreten!!!!

Did music world was that stupid??
Gracias por compartir la gran maestría de eduardo
EDUARDO FERNANDEZ es un excelso guitarrista que tocando Bach me emociona hasta las lágrimas, gracias por tanta música maestro.

Stefan Schmidt n'est pas mal non plus dans le même répertoire…
Have listen to this now maybe a dozen times. It never disappoints. Wonderful.

Chaconne kills me every time- such breadth, such depth, I don't know how a human mind can conceive such a thing. Outstanding performance btw...

The embellishment at 44:11 is insanely good.
oh, and at 1:10:09... also amazing embellishments.
Thanks
Tempo y precisión ! No hay muchos que puedan hacer esto o díganme quien ?
Thanks
Tan hermoso con esa guitarra. Wow. Me gusta la interpretación más que el violín. No lo creí posible.
WONDERFUL
Joe Fallisi
I thought John Williams was the one and only for this music. This is alive.
This is outstanding!
This sounds closer to the guitar sound; forty years ago they were not processing the sound electronically as much as they do today. Excellent musician and performance. Thank you for sharing!
Beautiful music thank you
I didn't even know these existed. They are thrilling! Thank you very much.
thank you!
One of the best interpretations of Bach's lute works I ever heard.
beautiful music ruined by commercials!!!
beautiful music ruined by commercials...
Muchas gracias... Me emociona escuchar tanta belleza, perfección y profundidad, todo a la vez, es abrumador...
:-)
What an achievement. Congratulations.
Really beautiful .
The more that I listen to this the more I understand that this is the definitive version of the Bach Lute Suites. The maestro was way ahead of the curve in terms of his ornamentation. Bravo!
with Bach you can go on the water wihout to know how to swim
This Mexican guy has some wicked chops...
Es uruguayo
Ornaments on the Gavotte en Rondeau, really 😎
Much gratitude, again you have captured my heart. Cheers.
You welcome :-)
les tempi sont trop rapides , le monsieur doit vouloir montrer ces "corones" , j'ai l'impression d'entendre un marteau piqueur ... dommage , ce n'est pas de la musique , mais de la gymnastique ...... désolé je zappe et referme la porte du frigo ... bizh
Como decimos en Uruguay, "una bestia el Eduardo!!"
Transcribír BACH a Guitarra Hufff . Tarea Gigante. ! Gracias DON EDUARDO !
The ones giving thumbs down are simply jealous, He He He :-)
wondeful music and playing! one error on title screeem I think.. should be partita no 2 chaconne
Bellísima interpretación de un músico genial como es Bach!!!!! ¡Gracias por tanto!!!!
Gorgeous, knitting "the raveled sleave" of care in the best way possible.
Classical music you are already a registered trademark. Listening to what you offer is a guarantee of quality and spiritual joy. Thank you
Un grande uruguayo vecino mio, saludos!
Mio chitarrista preferito
Bach wrote these as dances and Fernandez is certainly dancing. No one plays them with more ease.
Danke, wundervoll diese Interpretation von Bachs
Lauten- Suiten! Inspiriert und technisch brillant vorgetragen! Respekt vor dem genialen Bach und seinem hervorragenden Interpreten!!!!

❤ Bellissimo ❤
Un capó !!!!
zeze di camargo?
Todo grandioso solo que me gustaría menos brillante el sonido . Puede ser cuestión de grabación !
Ho notato parecchia povertà di suono.
what's the rush, is he in a hurry to get lunch? jeez, 50% faster than makes sense
I think it is supposed to be this fast. Have heard other recordings in about the same pace.
I hate this...bye
Why?
Ellen Ravelli , " HATE " is a VERY strong word, it is enough for to state that you do not like this recording or do not care for it .
Good riddance ... bye.
Always thank God and never hate anything , specially those great classical guitarists, it's not easy what he is playing,,god bless you and your family
She probably listens to reggueton.
