Miguel Rincón, Baroque lute: Adaptations of original solo violin works by Johann Sebastian Bach
About the album
The Spanish lute virtuoso Miguel Rincón, who already worked with some of most prominent characters in the field of Early Music, presents for his solo debut album two of his own transcriptions of the works for violin solo by J.S. Bach. Such arrangements were quite common at Bachs time, and Bach himself was well-acquainted with the lute. Miguel Rincón explores the tonal and emotional potential of his instrument to its full extent. He creates a richness and complexity of sound that one is not familiar with from the original violin version. Here we are being introduced to a new, very personal and at the same time virtuosic and powerful Bach, ready for the stage, which in the final Chaconne reaches a fulminant point of culmination, offhandedly upstaging quite a few rock guitar heroes of the last decades.

Talking about Miguel Rincón is talking about strength, passion and excellence. The Sevillian musician has already in his veins such features.

Bach have been recorded several times with the original instrument and also recently for lute by the American lutenist Hopkinson Smith. While this version is also a reference in terms of quality and historical-rethorical rigor refers, the version presented by the Sevillian is fresh, spontaneous, colorful. Simply captivating.Rincón show us a Bach full of energy, making it clear that he learned from the best, showing such dexterity with the lute that on several occasions it would seem that we were listening to a Heavy Metal master.In the Siciliana from the Sonata we can appreciate great fluency and lightness of the instrument, allowing us delve into the depths of our being, while in the Chaconne of the Partita is a color as well as feelings explosion that unveil the personal touch that the musician has put in this production.Rincón, belonging to the generation of Spanish historicist movement has made the Sonata BWV 1001 and the Partita BWV 1004 a delight for the senses. We must not avoid mentioning that the label Carpe Diem, a reference in Early Music, has done an excellent job of recording and design, something that characterizes it.Definitely a "must have" for Bach lovers as well as for lute ones, and one of the best Baroque proposals of the first half of 2013.
