Bach's Music as a Blank Canvas for Guitarists
By ALLAN KOZINN
Published: February 1, 2010
Benjamin Verdery, always one of the guitar's grand individualists, contributed the day's most endearingly quirky performance, a version of the Cello Suite No. 6 (BWV 1012) that embraced dynamic extremes, pizzicato repeated sections and other flamboyant coloristic touches, and added flourishes that went well beyond conventional ideas about ornamentation. The reading may have been a provocation, but it was so deliberately over the edge, and so inventive and entertaining, that any objection would be pointless, if not churlish.
Read the full review.
