Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750)~Ciaconna (Part 1) from Partita II BWV 1004 in D minor / en ré mineur Hopkinson Smith~Luth baroque 13 choeurs Joël van Lennep, Boston (1980) From 'Bach / Hopkinson Smith / Sonatas and Partitas' 2000 Auvidis-Naïve
One of my favorite ciaconna performances. The arpeggio fingering is P I M A M I ... I think. In non-guitar lingo that is thumb-index-middle-ring-middle-index, in sixteenth-triplets. I could be wrong and if so be kind and save the trolling.
The mood of the rhetoric suits this lute and player well. Most of these sonorities don't shine on the instrument, however... and the playing while sincere and serviceable has no revealing elements as an individual interpretation. Huge areas, in fact, just feel competenly noodled through- unlike so many of Mr. Smith's fantastic recordings of other pieces by Bach or other composers.
