Notes and Editorial Reviews
Critics' Choice Recording of the Year
Gramophone
Performing all four lute suites at this level of mastery can be deemed nothing less than a triumph...The digital recording perfectly expresses the clarity of her sparkling technique and the attention she pays to each melodic voice.
Guitar Player Magazine

An awesome tour de force that shows Isbin's total command of her instrument and Bach's music.
