Johann Sebastian Bach wrote music for the lute throughout his career. He had in his possession not only a lute but also two lute-harpsichords (Lautenwerke), gut-strung keyboard instruments allowing a fuller range of sound than the normal lute. For the present recording Elizabeth Farr plays a lute-harpsichord reconstructed by Keith Hill from Bach's own specification for one of his two instruments. Elizabeth Farr has been the recipient of many awards for her early music playing, including first prize in the Magnum Opus Harpsichord Competition in Michigan.
