First complete recording of the Sonatas, Partitas and Suites by Bach in the harpsichord transcription by Gustav Leonhardt. The transcription of these works, which were originally written for a solo string instrument (violin, cello) requires the hand of a master: Gustav Leonhardt certainly proves his deep insight of both Bach's sound world

and the possibilities of the harpsichord in these transcriptions, which feature complex counterpoint and harmonies. Bach himself transcribed many of his own works and those of others for different instruments. The close study of these works gave Leonhardt the courage and vision to write his own, commenting in his typical modest

way: "I think that Bach would have forgiven me the fact that I have set myself to making arrangements of his works. Whether or not he would have forgiven the way I have done it is a moot point..". Italian harpsichordist Roberto Loreggian has a substantial discography to his name, including works by Frescobaldi, Gabrieli, Vivaldi, Galuppi, Handel and others.
