Bach with and without Pluck

Elaine Comparone and Dusan Bogdanovic produced a stunning CD, combining harpsichord and guitar in their J.S Bach Inventions and Sinfonias collaboration.

Both musicians have firmly established reputations as fine performers and recording artists so their get-together has surely been a treat for listeners far and wide.

Just today, I broke out my Bach with Pluck!, and dashed off a few emails to Elaine about my reaction to the disk, piece by piece.

It was an overwhelming thumbs up, but the thought popped into my head to post a side-by-side acoustic piano rendering of the first offering, Invention 1 in C.
