Bach, J S: Trio Sonatas Nos. 1-6, BWV525-530

it's a touch counterintuitive to harness the quasi-similar sounds of guitar and harpsichord to differentiate lines. Still, it is lucidly performed.

About
I am privileged to join forces here with my great friend and mentor Albert Fuller, who has known these Sonatas over the course of a lifetime, and whose wisdom has been of inestimable value in the process of transforming these works conceived for the two manuals and pedal of the organ into a set of six Sonatas for guitar and harpsichord. Here the guitar plays the upper of the two organ keyboards while the harpsichord assumes the role of the second keyboard (right hand) and the pedal (left hand). Albert plays here on a harpsichord made by Tom and Barbara Wolf - the nearest thing we have yet had to the sound of the German harpsichords of Bach’s time.

Fisk plays with enormous warmth and commitment in this reissue of his 1998 recording. His profound insight into the counterpoint brings out the beauty of the melodies and their inner dialogue with great ease in a way that has a disarming ability to sound so beautiful on the guitar.
