    Johann Sebastian Bach so admired the sound of the lute that he designed a gut-strung harpsichord to imitate it (Lautenwerk) which ‘deceived the ears of the best lutenists’. This invention permitted him, as a keyboard virtuoso, to compose astonishing pieces for ‘lute’ that are unplayable on the 13-course instruments of his day! Paul O’Dette has taken up this challenge, introducing into these arrangements of suites and partitas just what was needed to make them sound natural on his instrument.
