Goldberg Variations (JS Bach) by Andreas Almqvist Andreas Almqvist : Goldberg Variations (JS Bach).
 Elegant classical guitar.

On this record Andreas Almqvist has chosen to study Johann Sebastian Bach's Goldberg Variations from the horizon of a guitarist. A guitar is different from a harpsichord or any other instrument. The guitar has its own demands. This means that the performer necessarily must try to bring the several preconditions into the personal unit his musical taste demands. With sensibility and great knowledge he gives us his version of the Aria with variations.
