Webmaster's note:

The liner notes state that more recent research shows that J.S. Bach probably had little knowledge of how to write for the lute since he was a keyboard player. The documents that show the word "lute" are also typically accompanied by the word "harpsichord". For a long time it was assumed that the suite was intended for either instrument although the music was in a key inappropriate for either. It has been recently theorized that the suite was written for the "lute-harpsichord" which is a keyboard instrument and Bach was known to own two of these instrument.  There is a lot more interesting information in the liner notes that might interest Bach lovers.


All of the four recordings on EMI Classics were released on compact disc only. While the back covers only contain very basic information, the CD booklet is very informative.
