Lagoya joue Bach (Jésus que ma joie demeure), Scarlatti & Weiss

One of the finest guitarists of his generation, Alexandre Lagoya was famous not only for his amazing abilities but also thanks to his numerous transcriptions for the instrument, which greatly contributed to the extension of the repertoire. In this album recorded for Erato in 1990, he performs major baroque pieces he arranged himself, notably Bach’s Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring and excerpts from the Notebook for Anna Magdalena and a selection of Scarlatti’s keyboard sonatas.
