Goran Sollscher has done it again with a grrreat CD of Baroque interpretations on his Bolin 11 string cutaway classical guitar... the panorama of harmonic possibilities of the 11 string guitar truly enhances Sollscher's master-full interpretation of any classical composition with an absolutely unique & outstanding sound !!! while this CD's program is not quite as personally appealing as the music of his 2 magnificent Bach CDs [some of my favorite classical guitar CDs in a very extensive collection]- it is another well-executed example of Sollscher's uniquely charismatic sound & style- so, i would recommend this CD to any serious afficianado of classical guitar...

Well, first time music from this luthist-guitarist-arrangeur; not extremely known repertoire such artist like past mid-seventeen century and early eighteen, known baroque era, germen David Kellner and Ernst Gottlieb Baron; swedish johan Helmich Roman; Bohemian johann Anton Logy(Comte de Logi) : would be long to speculate for each and everyone`s life and work but for casualties and everyone`s perticular attentionnal ear, still there is Bach(J.S), Couperin(Francois); Johann Pachelbel(not the canon, or canon and Gigue); well-known luthist S.L Weiss; one could find his/her favorite tune ! Still the global result is interesting and needs enough concentration and time discover this luthist`art work on many fields and some other disks. So it`s up to you to get it on; and the author uses different instruments along all his standard accoustic versions, toujours dans le gout du genre; c`est a dire : le noble et le plus coutumier ...translating : the sacred and the profane !
