Bach: Prelude No. 1 from Kleine Preludien Für Klavier BWV 924 in C-Major. Arranged and played by Per-Olov Kindgren. This is the first time I’ve heard this piece on guitar. Nice going, Per!

The instrument used is a copy of Fabricatore circa 1820 made by the Luthier Arnoldo García with old instruments-carbon strings by Savarez Alliance. Recording in one take, no editing.

Carles Trepat Concert on an 1892 Torres Guitar

Carles Trepat is a Spanish Catalan classical guitarist. He was born in Lérida, Spain, in 1960. He usually plays with historical guitars. This concert was played on his 1892 Antonio Torres guitar (SE 153), using gut and silk strings. (In fact, Torres didn’t finish building this guitar. According to Romanillos, this guitar was completed by Miguel Moya when Torres fell ill.)
