5.0 out of 5 stars This CD is a landmark in the world of classical guitar., 2 Jan 2001
By Alan Coady (Edinburgh) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This CD is a landmark in the world of classical guitar recording. In addition to the extaordinary sound produced by Galbraith's 8-sting guitar, the recording features playing of the highest musical and technical standards. In an age where the ability of the performer and the quality of a recording have become somewhat detatched, the prospective buyer can take some comfort from the knowledge that Galbraith has played the entire content of this double CD live on several occasions - notably in the Edinburgh International Festival in 1996.

The disc features Galbraith's own transcriptions of the six sonatas and partitas for solo violin - three of each in alternate pairs. Galbraith explains in the liner notes his intuition that Bach percieved these as a single work, a "suite of suites" representative of the birth, passion and resurrection of Christ. He outlines his reasons for this feeling (citing musical references) far better in his notes than a review of this size could hope to achieve. Whether or not one cares to take this on board, the performance leaves no room for doubt that Galbraith believes this. His rendition of the Chaconne (Partita No. 2), representing the "the way of the cross" contains an undeniable emotional charge. This movement forms the centre-piece of the work as a whole. It is impossible to escape the feeling that one has been through the mill after an attentive listening to this 20-mintue track. Fortunately, the contrasting happiness of the Allegro Assai from the following Sonata and the Prelude to Partita No. 3 provide a failsafe antidote.

For lovers of Bach or of classical guitar music this CD is a must buy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Galbraith's 8-string Bach, 25 April 2004
Well, there's no justice in the world of musical fame. I agree witheverything alan coady says. Where are the rockets and the fireworks? Thisman brings a kind of musicianship and depth of feeling that tends to makeone take his virtuosity for granted (ie skill entirely at the service ofmusicality, which is not always the case, alas, with guitar virtuosi)- butthen you think about what he is doing and you realise how trulyextraordinary a feat this is. How could you not rate this with Tureckplaying the 48, Glenn Gould playing Goldberg? I doubt it will have theimpact, because the classical world tends to respect the guitar, but in asafe little world of its own. The power, the delicacy and poise ofGalbraith's music, transcends his instrument, just as is the case with anytruly great musical performance. This is great music - oh, and it is also,if you play the guitar, a deeply humbling experience!
So go on, buy itnow, it is unique experience. That's why this is the first and only reviewI've ever bothered to write for Amazon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant musicianship, and a new guitar sound, 17 Aug 2006
By D. A. Campbell (Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Total agreement with other reviewers ; glorious tone, wonderful resonance from his eight-string guitar. Partly because of the extra range, partly because of Galbraith's perfect technique, there is none of the sense of strain, of both the instrument and the performer being pushed to the limit, which you often get when guitarists play Bach transcriptions. Much more clarity in the counterpoint here, also, and none of the awkward octave-jumping which arises in transcriptions for six-string guitar.
These are deep and intelligent interpretations. There are never displays of speed for speed's sake, but he has amazing precision and clarity even at the highest tempo.
Violin lovers may feel they know these pieces inside-out, but they too will make new discoveries here. Too many guitar albums appeal only to guitar fans, and who else would ever want to listen to more Sor and Guiliani, in any case ? This, though, is definitely an album for those who love Bach, not just for guitar nerds.
A previous reviewer mentions Gould ; high praise indeed, and this recording can indeed stand comparison with Gould... and Galbraith neither sings along nor chooses a very dry unresonant recording.
