Johann Sebastian Bach himself did not play the lute. Could his lute music really have been played on the lute as specified - or was it intended all along for a lute harpsichord of the type found in Bach`s estate? Two of the suites of this recording are expressly stated „pour la Luth“ or „pour la luth o cembal“. However, some notes were not feature of the common solo instrument of the era, the 13-string lute with a D minor tuning. Axel Wolf performs Bach`s lute music on a 14-string archlute, a theorbo lute - an instrument which could well have been played by one of the Italians employed at the court orchestra in Dresden. This recording is full of tranquility and intimacy found by Axel Wolf prior to the recording in the little Johann Sebastian Bach.
Axel Wolf studied the guitar and lute under Hans Michael Koch. After attending master classes held by Nigel North and Hopkinson Smith, he also studied under Rolf Lislevand. Since completing his degree course in the guitar in 1986, Axel Wolf has taught at Hanover Academy of Music and Theatre. In 1988 he teamed up with Simone Nill (recorder) and Robert Sagasser (viola da gamba)to form the ensemble La Sfondrata. Four years later, La Sfondrata won a prize at the Festival of Early Music in Utrecht. Axel Wolf played the lute in a number of wellknown ensembles such as Musica Fiata (Cologne), Ars Antiqua Austria, and the London-based Gabrieli Consort &Players. Axel Wolf has appeared at numerous international festivals,including inBoston, Bruges, New York and Tel Aviv. Axel Wolf is a frequent guest at the Bavarian State Opera in Munich, performing under the baton of Harry Bicket and Ivor Bolton.
