Bach Sonatas and Partitas for Guitar
Program: Biscuits & Bach
Aired: Sunday, March 10, 2019 @ 7:00 am
Hosted by Rachel Stewart
Guitarists have always found that Bach’s Violin Sonatas and Partitas lend themselves quite nicely to their own instrument. In 1998, guitarist Paul Galbraith recorded all six of these works using his 8-string Brahms guitar, an instrument he essentially invented.
The Brahms guitar is unique in that it uses an end pin resting on an amplifying and reverberant wooden box and is held in a position similar to a cello. We’ll listen to Galbraith’s unique take on these Bach’s masterworks and his instrument’s unique sound this week when we sample his 1998 album originally on the Delos label.
And Rachel talks to chef and cookbook author Jennifer Brule about her most recent cookbook The New Vegetarian South. Vegetarian and Southern foods are not as far apart as you might think.
