Raphaël Feuillâtre – Bach: Ich rufe zu Dir, Herr Jesu Christ BWV 639 | Arr. Abiton for Guitar

Nov 25, 2022 | Not a speck of museum dust rises when Raphaël Feuillâtre performs music from the distant past. The 26-year-old French classical guitarist, whose repertoire embraces everything from Johann Sebastian Bach and Rameau to contemporary compositions by Roland Dyens and Sérgio Assad, possesses the technical mastery and creative vision required to make works from all periods sound as if they were written yesterday – alive, heartfelt, filled with colour. Hailed by Guitar Salon International as “one of the most exciting classical guitarists of his generation”, he makes his instrument sing with a rare blend of clarity and grace.

This hymn from the Reformation period has been arranged many times in the Baroque period and Johann Sebastian Bach’s expressive in the Orgelbüchlein remains a favorite until today. Here, you hear a completely new transcription of this work for classical guitar, played by young guitarist Raphael Feuillâtre. Raphael, who loves baroque music and especially admires Bach, opens a new aspect thanks to the arrangement and to the different facets of the guitar.
