Hey Tom,
its so strange that you should mention that particular Sarabande. Just the
other day I watched a movie where it was the main musical theme, and I've
been playing that one (in Segovia's arrangement) for as long as I can
remember on the guitar. Its a highly evocative piece.
I've been searching my mind the whole day for the correct name for such an
ocurrence, (where something you have just experienced or said or thought
about pops up simultaneously somewhere completely else. But the term evades
me.....help anyone?)
And I'm definitely a dedicated Renbourne fan. He has done wonders for the
appreciation of olde muzac. Who of us players just couldn't just love his
trotto suite and the dump?

This makes me think of a wonderful recording by John Renbourn of
the famous Sarabande by J.S. Bach from Partita No.1 BWV 1002 for
Unaccompanied Violin. He played it on an Epiphone Casino hollowbody
electric guitar with tremelo and reverb.

(The entire LP is wonderful.)
Renbourn states on the liner notes that he was in no way trying to be
historic,
but to bsaically breathe new life into some ancient pieces. I think he
succeeded.
