JF Fasch (1688-1758) was a highly respected musician in his day. He studied under Kuhnau in Leipzig, and his subsequent skill in composition warranted the respect of JS Bach. This is his concerto for lute in D minor, transposed for guitar and played by Konrad Ragossnig. I think Fasch had a particular talent in writing for strings. His tutti are always gorgeous and perfectly balanced. Musicologists today regard Fasch mainly as an eloquent link between the high baroque and early classic style.
