French guitarist Thomas Riamon plays the fourth movement, Sarabande from the Harpsichord Partita No. 1, BWV 825 by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) on a 2007 Antonio Raya Ferrer guitar. This comes via Guitar Salon International and their YouTube channel. If you follow the site you might have noticed I don’t post a lot of works that are keyboard arrangements but this performance was so refined that I got pulled right in. Excellent phrasing and ornamentation by Riamon and just a beautiful performance overall. This is the first time I’ve featured Thomas Riamon and I’ll be following him closely, learn more about him at his bio page.
