For the Bach liefhebbers

I know there are a few Bach fans on the foro. A friend in Holland just uploaded this, a very nice job:

RE: For the Bach liefhebbers (in reply to Estevan)

I think the guy is a really good guitarist, Estevan. I enjoyed that, but felt there was maybe a bit too much rubato?
I suppose what I'm thinking is that Bach would maybe have played it more like Tomatito.

Anyway, Bach's stuff is always good regardless of how you play it IMO.

The guy has a nice tone as well and it made me think that it's actually quite amazing that the Classical and Flamenco guitar are basically the same instrument, but sound so different!

cheers,

Ron

Thank you for this. Bach transcribes so perfectly for guitar it sometimes sounds as though it were written for it. Nice playing too.
