Why transcribe and perform the sonatas and partitas for solo violin on the guitar? It is surely the works themselves that provide the justification; their indestructible melodic poetry and their rich implied counterpoint at which the original violin can only hint.
Many guitarists have already gone where more cautious spirits would fear to tread and made their own transcriptions; this new version carries the imprimatur of David Russell, one of the most internationally acclaimed guitarists of his generation, who writes that Francesco Teopini ‘plays with a beautiful sound, faithfully recorded. His interpretation shows a deep understanding of these major works.’
In a useful booklet-note, Teopini himself notes that these works are now standard repertoire for guitarists, even mandatory for the sake of personal development, as perhaps Bach is for every musician regardless of instrument. His arrangement is relatively discreet, adding just a few more bass notes to amplify chords in movements such as the famous Chaconne which is the climax of the cycle. Elsewhere he has borne in mind the art of the clavecin, which no less relevant to the guitar as an instrument of Bach’s time than the original violin. There is naturally greater opportunity for ornamentation, which Teopini takes with discretion.
Italian by birth, Teopini himself is a graduate of the Royal Academy of Music in London, currently resident as a teacher and performer in Hong Kong, with a repertoire ranging from Bach through the Classical Spanish repertoire to contemporary works, several of which he has commissioned and premiered by composers including Gian Carlo Mantovani and Fausto Tuscano .

While all Baroque music is flexible enough to be adapted to virtually any forces, it seems especially interesting how Bach never seems to be out of place when his music is adapted to just about any instruments.  These arrangements for guitar of his violin sonatas and partitas is Exhibit A as testimony to this fact.  They sound as if they were conceived for the guitar.  Thanks in large part to the arranger, of course.  But the naturalness of his melodic and contrapuntal contours never resists adaptation to any forces.  Probably the main reason why "Switched-On Bach" was so popular.  These wonderful performances of his sonatas and partitas for violin arranged for guitar are just gorgeous, utterly musical, and totally natural.

I keep thinking that if Bach's music were broadacast in the streets 24/7 hatred and violence would disappear from the Earth

What makes Bach great is that he composed for the music, not the audience.

I truly love this album. This is the most brilliant arranging and playing of Bach for guitar I have found. It is far easier to listen to the entire album than not to!

How does it feel like, when you are able to play all partitas and sonatas... I wish I knew....

What's also amazing about his music is all the instruments it can adapt to. I haven't known the guitar sonatas for very long and already they're some of my favorites.  ...I was blinded by Glen Gould this entire time!
