Discussion of what the pieces in category 1 are and why they are attributed to him is beyond the scope of this article, but in a nutshell: at least some of them were intended for lautenwerck, the gut-strung harpsichord, and many of them are not playable as written on the lute. liner notes to Bach on the Lute, 1994. While it’s not a exhaustive examination of every recording of Dowland’s solo lute music in history, I believe all the major recordings are here, and a lot of others as well.
Instead of labouring over perpetuating the idea that the so-called lute pieces of Bach are proper lute pieces, I prefer to take the works for unaccompanied Violin or Cello and make them into new works for lute, keeping (as much as possible) to the original text, musical intention, phrasing and articulation, yet transforming them in a way particular to the lute so that they are satisfying to play and to hear. I own a number of BIS recordings from this time and the impression I have is that they were made with an audiophile in mind, i.e. Of the three 'complete' sets now in the market (may be more?

The apocryphal lute works lie well within the confines of Bach’s established keyboard style, and other than a poorly thought-out arrangement, ill-suited to the instrument and worked-out at the keyboard (BWV 995, Suite in G minor), almost nothing from the composer really links them to the lute. The performance on this disc communicates clearly North’s vision, deep commitment to this music, and his superlative musicianship.

I found Hopkinson Smith’s Johann Sebastian Bach: L’oeuvre de Luth at Tower records in New York City in the early 1990s – it was one of my first purchases of recorded lute music, the first CD recording of Bach on the Lute that I ever heard, and by now I am sure that I have heard these recordings more than any other performances of the category 1 pieces. Finally, to say the music is 'boring' and leave a 3* rating (meaning mediocre to me) is unfair for this outstanding collection, and should be ignored.

One reason for this is that rather than record only one “best” version of a number of Dowland’s pieces that exist in more than one version, O’Dette recorded both early and late versions of a number of these over the course of the project. ), Nigel North is my favorite - I had several Paul O'Dette discs but did not like the sound recording, so culled out of my collection - I then bought the Jacob Lindberg 4-CD set on Brilliant (licensed from BIS) and over the last few days have been listening to North & Lindberg - both are excellent but North seems to have more zip in his playing (which can be needed on a lute) and is recorded 'closer', my preference - despite his being 'in the room', I do not hear extraneous noises, e.g. Purists might raise an eyebrow at some of Julian Bream’s expressive interventions, and the recorded sound betrays its age, but the eloquence and artistry of these pioneering performances remain gloriously undimmed.

I think the answer lies in the sheer beauty and strength of the music coupled with the mystery surrounding Bach and the lute… His lute music has such a magnificence and magic not found elsewhere, but, alas, is so often awkwardly written for the instrument.
The compositions are both soothing and bewitching a perfect antidote for a stressful day.
