J. S. Bach: The Art of Fugue BWV 1080 - Contrapunctus 14 a 3 Soggetti - for two 8-strings guitars

"Jozsef Eotvos is one of the finest guitarists alive today. His debut work was no less than an adaptation of J.S. Bach´s Goldberg Variations for one guitar. It won him critical acclaim and praise from all corners of the world. This task was considered impossible up until that point. Eotvos would not rest on those accolades though, he has just recently completed Bach´s "Art of the Fugue" for two specially tuned eight string guitars. These two works, along with two volumes of Chopin´s piano works and Brahms´ Hungarian Dances, have helped to expand the repertoire of the classical guitar, while his transcriptions of Bach´s lute works are among the best available. When one hears Jozsef Eotvos perform, one is immediately taken not just by his flawless technique, but by his sensitive interpretations. Every nuance, every detail is given the attention it deserves. The voice leading is natural and his phrasing is expressive, dynamic and alive."
