Vier Suiten für Laute

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Göran Söllscher

Vier Suiten für Laute is a set of four suites for lute by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed in the early 18th century. They adapt Baroque dance-suite structures to the plucked instrument, featuring dense counterpoint, ornamentation and textures that transpose keyboard and vocal techniques to the lute, and they illustrate Bach's practice of arranging and reworking material within his instrumental output.
First released: August 1995
