" - Stephen Aron, Oberlin Conservatory of Music "If you think you’ve heard Bach on the guitar, think again!" - Rene Izquierdo, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee "Mearns’ virtuosic recording is a thrilling adventure for the hands and ears…reminding us of how exciting the guitar can be as a solo instrument when it suggests something greater than itself." - Jonathan Leathwood, University of Denver, Editor Soundboard Scholar “Alan Mearns is undoubtedly a virtuoso guitarist, yet he is more than that. Alan is a creative soul with a vast imagination and refined musicianship. His transcriptions of Bach are a beautiful glimpse into his creative world.” - Bill Piburn, editor Fingerstyle Guitar Journal #bach #classicalguitar #bwv847 #baroquemusic #alanmearns #virtuoso #prelude #cminor #thewelltemperedclavier #shredguitar #fingerstyle #yngwiemalmsteen #anavidovic #vivaldi #handel #classicalfm #barrueco #johnwilliams #julianbream #davidrussell #classicalmusic Irish guitarist Alan Mearns plays the first single from his upcoming Bach recording “Sei Solo - Works by J.S.
