Canadian guitarist Jérôme Ducharme performs Prelude, Fugue & Allegro, BWV 998 by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) on a René Wilhelmy classical guitar. This comes via Canadian luthier René Wilhelmy’s YouTube channel (go subscribe).
I really enjoyed the very rhythmic and well paced prelude performance. I love this prelude played freely or more with a bit more refined structure as heard here with very controlled articulation and placement of the main pulse.
The release dates for the rest of the movements are:
Fugue — September 29
Allegro — October 13
I’ll update this post as they are released.
