Virtuoso Guitar Transcriptions

“Germany’s finest classical guitarist and one of the world‘à/top players, Hubert Kappel… effortlessly renders Bach‘s sixth Keyboard Partita with great musicality, breathing life into it at every phrase. Extremely well recorded, ‘Virtuoso Transcriptions’ sets a high standard for contrapuntal clarity and musicality.” — Jim Ferguson, Guitar Player Magazine

“Only an artist with a perfect technique can even dream of tackling such a difficult and demanding work, one which even accomplished pianists avoid.” — Frankfurter Allgemeine

“I doubt that there are many guitarists who could even handle the mechanics of BWV 830, let alone present the product as worthwhile music - which is what Kappel does... This is surely one of the most magnificent discs of guitar music to appear for many years.” — John Duarte, Guitar International Magazine

“In my opinion, there are only two other recordings in the history of guitar recordings which fall into the same category with Hubert Kappel’s: Segovia’s ‘Chaconne’ of 1948 and ‘Granados/Albeniz’ of Barrueco... it ranks among the very best.” — Georg Metsch, Nova Giulianad, Freiburg

“Kappel’s Bach is both a technical milestone and an undeniable artistic achievement. Here is one historic performance which has not been allowed to get away.” — Classical Guitar Magazine

“…consign this CD to the masterpiece shelf. This is one of the most powerful classical guitar discs I’ve every heard. Kappel is no doubt from another planet.” — The Retriever
