Track: J.S. Bach: Suite No. 3, BWV 1068 in D Major (trans
(
$0.37
)
Artist: Paul Galbraith
“This review is for the whole album. Paul Galbraith teams up with three other guitarists here (Edelton & Everton Gloeden, Tadeu do Amaral) as the Brazilian Guitar Quartet in arrangements of Bach's well-known Orchestral Suites. In general, large-scale orchestral works don't work too well when scaled down for the guitar, but these pieces come out surprisingly full of spirit. Galbraith has previously tackled transcriptions of Bach's violin sonatas and partitas with beautiful effect, and here he shows he's up to the task of taking on the whole orchestra. The quartet's overall sound is well-balanced and integrated, maybe even a bit too smooth. If you enjoy Bach and enjoy the guitar, there's plenty to like in this set.”

“This tune makes me think of hot cuban nights with a mix of New Orleans jazz. The trumpet playing is tremendous on this and all of their tracks. I can't say enough good things about this band.”
