        I'll see your chaconne and raise you one goldberg (and he only needs 6 strings).

        By the way, here's another recording (studio) of the Goldbergs:

        Link to video

        I love this CD. If I recall, he had an instrument specifically built

        Unlike many Bach works adapted for guitar, the intricacies of the Goldberg Variations lie beyond the scope of six strings. Guitarist Kurt Rodarmer circumvents these limitations via overdubbing--either playing duets with himself or else trios and quartets. Rodarmer also employs a custom-made guitar on which the bass register extends down into the cello register. While idiomatic keyboard effects, such as the cross-handed sequences, fall by the wayside, Rodarmer manages to convey the music's linear vitality at tempos that make most guitarists green with envy. Overdubbing, however, renders contrapuntal lines more independent than interactive. I am also bothered by the guitarist's cloying vibrato in lyrical movements and habitual accents on downbeats. A fun project, nonetheless. --Jed Distler

        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

          Watch the final Dm section, say 10:30 onward. Amazing how you can see the bass strings resonate.

            That's pretty cool, but I'd guess it's a function of the frequency of the string's vibration being close to the frame-rate of the video (sorta like wagon wheels on a film appearing to be still, or rotate backward).

              I used to have a colleague who was a professional classical guitar player before he turned into a computer scientist. He played exactly that Chaconne for me on the guitar.

                That's like running away from the circus to go and work in a bank (as they said about John Major)
