Sony Classical is pleased to announce another ten releases in it's increasingly comprehensive series of Classical Masters. These new budget-priced releases contain classic recordings, many of them newly remastered, by some of the most celebrated musicians of the 20th century. The Australian guitarist John Williams has long been universally recognized as "a true master", to quote the Guardian. The centrepiece of Sony's new reissue of his Bach recordings is formed by the Suites for solo lute. Also contained on this release are Williams's inspired transcriptions of the E major Violin Concerto (with the English Chamber Orchestra), preludes and fugues, chorales and movements from various suites. "John Williams is a superb technician," wrote MusicWeb International, "and justifiably deserves the accolades heaped on him during his long career. His rendition of these works is most authoritative and executed with admirable fluidity."
