Franz Halász, acclaimed German guitarist and Latin Grammy winner, performs Johann Sebastian Bach’s three sonatas for solo violin (BWV 1001, 1003, 1005) in masterful transcriptions for guitar. These works, composed around 1720 in Köthen, showcase Bach’s brilliance in fugal writing and expressive contrast. Influenced by Andrés Segovia’s pioneering efforts in adapting baroque music for guitar, Halász follows in this tradition with nuanced, historically informed interpretations. The sonatas—modeled after the four-movement church sonata form—reveal Bach’s command of counterpoint and deep emotional range, now conveyed through the warmth of the guitar.
