Matthew McAllister Courante ~ J.S.Bach

Scottish Classical Guitarist Matthew McAllister working on the Courante from J.S.Bach's first Suite for solo Cello.

The Courante is a hugely enjoyable movement to play and later this year I will be making a recording which will include the whole suite.

The Guitar you see and hear in this video is by the German maker Gerhard Oldiges, it was originally built for Julian Bream and has a fantastic sound for Baroque music which suits Bach perfectly.

Julian bream was very good at bringing Bach into the present moment and this player is also very good at this. He obviously really enjoys the music and can bring it alive in the same way that Bream could. Very enjoyable to listen to.

@tomophirwedge Well said!! I was going to be lazy and just stick with the Prelude, but after hearing this I think I'll learn it and some more of the suite. Inspiring!

[JonnyClassical]

Great use of cross string trills!

Also I like your dynamic interpretation and tone!

Amazing (I'm starting this suite)

This is such a wonderful piece of music. Working on this on the mando. Way fun to play. I like the additional ornamentation. Superb performance. Thanks for sharing.
