Nascent: Bach Preludes on the Steel String Guitar
by Bert Lams —
Lams calls on his 20 years of classical training and his exceptional transcribing abilities to introduce a collection of his own arrangements of J.S. Bach’s Preludes.
The music, originally written for violin and cello, is performed on solo steel-string acoustic guitar, in lieu of the more traditional nylon stringed instrument.
Lams sets his performance apart by inviting listeners to connect with his beautifully performed Bach music from an unexplored perspective.
Includes several pieces that have never been played on guitar, let alone on a steel string guitar with plectrum.
