The renowned German guitarist Tilman Hoppstock has made many recordings, but he has always been particularly devoted to the works of Johann Sebastian Bach. His musicological printed edition of Bach's lute works is considered a standard work amongst guitarists today, as is his two-volume book summarising a thirty-year research project. Most recently, Tilman Hoppstock received his doctorate this year with a doctoral thesis on this subject. Alongside the scholarly analysis of Bach, Hoppstock has always concerned himself with the interpretation of Bach's works on the guitar as well. Over the decades, a series of recordings has thus been made, some of which have not yet been issued on CD. The works that Bach originally wrote for the lute are of course standard repertoire for guitarists; moreover, Hoppstock also interprets harpsichord works on the guitar and, as "encores", there are also a few works that can be heard as adaptations for two guitars or guitar with violoncello piccolo. The present double CD now brings together all the Bach recordings ever made by Tilman Hoppstock, thus representing, for the first time, a comprehensive compendium of the works of Johann Sebastian Bach for all friends of the guitar (and of Bach).
