Georgi Dimitrov-Jojo, winner of the 2022 European Bach Guitar Award, presents a selection of works transcribed for guitar from the rich repertoire of Johann Sebastian Bach. Arrangements made for different instruments were customary during the Baroque period - and with a wide range of tonal possibilities, the guitar is an ideal instrument for this music. Dimitrov-Jojo's beautiful sound and poetic interpretations bring an intimate connection to Bach's boundless imagination, crowned in this substantial programme by the famous Ciaccona, BWV 1004.
