Stockholm Guitar Quartet
Bach - Telemann

The second of the Stockholm Guitar Quartet's successful albums is devoted to Baroque music and includes transcriptions of:
Bach; Brandenburg Concerto No.6,
Telemann; Violin Concerto in G Major,
Frescobaldi; La Frescobalda,
Cimarosa; Larghetto in C minor.

"The result is in many ways both brilliant and startling. This is, quite obviously, a sensation for the guitar community. The question is how people will react outside the circle of guitar enthusiasts. Will they find this recording more original than musically justified? I don't know. Personally I belong more or less to the guitar camp and, consequently, can only observe, with great delight, that the Guitar Quartet have done it again!" (Musikrevy)
