Impressive arrangement, very idiomatic for the instrument.
Must have put in a lot of work planning out the precise fingering for the whole piece..

Not uncommon for lautists and classically trained guitarists. It’s all about voicing options and making full use of control of sympathetic strings and overtones.

I'm a guitar play but I'm no peep of this guy. He's way over anything I can contemplate. I want that guitar/lute though. It's cool.

The Bach was mesmerizing.

Cyprien Katsaras, a virtuoso who became well known for recording all the Liszt Beethoven Symphony reductions, playing his own transcription of the same piece.

Two decades ago Bernard and I saw him perform this live in NYC. Somewhere around 5:00-5:30 he brings out his 3rd and 4th hand

11 strings? I mean that's cool, but why stop at 11?
