Jim Nilsson - Staffan Isb�ck, Johann Sebastian Bach: Interferens

On this release, one is able to enjoy both Bach's 5 Preludes and Staffan Isb�ck's 5 Prologues. The preludes by Bach are followed by his famous Fugue for lute as well as the highly poetic Sarabande from the second suite for lute. Jim Nilsson, guitarist, has a soloist diploma from Hochschule f�r Musik in Basel, and performs on a seven-string, 1820-replica guitar made by Lars J�nsson. The result is a tone carrying both the spirit of the lute and the warmth and dynamics of the guitar. By Staffan Isb�ck, there are also three fantasies after themes by Jerome Kern, Chick Corea and Duke Ellington � not in any way jazz-like, but definite homages. The suite Den andra enkelheten (The Second Simplicity) creates a bridge to the music of Bach. The collection also contains Theme and Variation of V�rmlandsvisa and two pieces from Sex Svenska slott (Six Swedish Palaces).
