William Carter’s exemplary musicianship is showcased to its fullest on this new recording of Bach’s own transcriptions for the lute.  Almost unplayable in parts many musicians take certain liberties with the music so that it flows more naturally, but Carter’s determined approach to authenticity sees the lutenist achieve the near impossible: playing the music as it was originally written. Carter very subtly enhances BWV 1001, originally for unaccompanied violin, in keeping with Bach’s own perceived style, namely to only add ‘as much harmony as he found necessary’. Bach’s own mild refashioning of BWV 1006, originally a Partita for solo violin, allows Carter to highlight the relaxed and intimate nature of the music. The final piece undergoes the most extensive reimagining as Bach expertly transforms the Fifth Cello Suite into a ‘new’ lute work; so successful is it that Carter considers it to be, in terms of understanding the essential nature and expressive qualities of the lute, ‘the most perfect piece of lute music in existence’.

"Gamelan Suite (2019)" consist of two movements that are written in different styles. The first movement represents relatively slower oscillation between the strings, which is an imitation of the gamelan Degung style. For the second movement, the Balinese style of higher frequency is applied. Moreover, I maintained the mood of traditional Gamelan music for the first movement to display the natural sound of the guitar. On the other hand, the second movement shows North America's influence on the continuing Gamelan tradition
