Alessandro Marcello (1673-1747) published his Concerto for oboe and strings in D minor in 1715. Johann Sebastian Bach arranged a number of concertos by Venetian composers for solo keyboard including this now famous work. Ida Presti and Alexandre Lagoya made a beautiful arrangement of this work for their guitar duo to perform with orchestra and two guitars. As a tribute to Ida Presti, Chris has arranged the same work from Johann Sebastian Bach's own keyboard arrangement of the concerto. Chris elaborates; "... this piece started life as an oboe concerto by Alessandro Marcello (1673-1747), and Bach arranged it for solo keyboard. Presti and Lagoya actually arranged this piece directly from Marcello’s version, for two guitars with orchestra. I wanted to take another look and play the whole work on the two guitars. I made my arrangement from the Bach keyboard version and used the key of B minor. In this recording I use the 7th string tuned to a low B, so an octave below the second fret."
