Bach Lute Suites

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Paul Galbraith

The Lute Suites are a set of solo works by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed around 1717 to 1720. They are Baroque pieces that adapt keyboard counterpoint to lute textures, with polyphonic writing and dance movements from the suite tradition, and they date from Bach's Weimar years when he reworked keyboard material for plucked instruments.

First released: 2000
