Bach never composed for guitar, but that has not stopped guitarists from drafting Bach into their repertory. Hence, Chinese classical guitar player Yang Xuefei's latest album, Bach Concertos.
The 35-year-old considers the album to be her most innovative and exciting to date. It took nearly two years to finish and features her own transcriptions of three Bach concertos, as well as some of his solo works.
"There is a Bach in every musician's heart," she says. "His music has been a blank canvas for guitarists, so I wanted to give it a try and I found there was considerable breadth for interpretation."
