I recently attended a 40 hour session of master classes that focused on interpretation of Baroque music on the modern guitar. Most of the attendees were students at conservatories - the general consensus was that this edition is superb. There may be others as good, but this one is certainly up to standard. During the class, we often referred to this edition to correct errors in the other student's scores.

Of course, any transcription for the guitar makes changes, drops some notes, looses some voices, etc. The maestro's opinion (a specialist in music of the period) was that the compromises in this edition are quite fine.

Of course, one should always have as close to the original texts as possible for reference.

The text is for advance guitarist. Fingering made perfect musical sense. One of the best by far of J.S. Bach lute transciptions. Notation based from the original works are available for study or evaluation. This work is a necessary tool for those interested in The Lute Suites.
