Thank God we have guitarists who don’t just play what is written like everyone else; it’s so refreshing to see new transcriptions and new interpretations
Just watched Rick Beato's video on this guy. Apparently, although he's a bit mysterious, he produces some of the most incredible recordings, and harmonizes Bach in very interesting ways. Probably one of the most underrated guitarists. I highly recommend following him on Spotify as he does not get as much support there as he should.
Mearns is always brilliant; unique and very tasteful. Also, I don't think I've ever seen anyone play a right-hand/cross-string trill at the same time as a left-hand/hammer-on pull-off trill. It seems so obvious now that you could combine the two, and yet I had never seen it before now. Really cool.
Unique transcription and performance! Great interpritation! But the numbering Suite n. 13 is a little incorrect. It was a temporary numbering catalog by Jean-Daniel Forget, which was used by lutenist Michel Cardin on his CD's. Prelude from Suite n. 2 and Passacaglia from Suite n. 13. But this numbering of Weiss` works no longer exists. The correct numbering is: the Prelude from the Sonata n.2 (SW2 or SC2) and Passacaglia from Sonata No.18 (SW18 or SC18). The SW or WSW signature stands for - (Weiss Samtliche Werke), SC - (Smith & Crowford). Future generations of lutenists and guitarists should know this so that there is no confusion.
I am perpetually confused by the Weiss numbering. One suite I played I’ve found recorded using three different numbers haha. Is there now finally a definitive catalog numbering for all works, or is this still an ongoing process?
Beautiful Alan!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I absolutely love his playing, he is unique among modern guitarists.
A beautiful and gripping performance by Alan - thank you for featuring him!
A perfect example of creativity within the style. Well conceived and brilliantly executed interpretation. Very elaborate, but not overstated.
Alan is an incredible player and and even cooler guy. Well done man, I'm gonna go practice my cross string trills now...

Звук огонь!
Excellent
Might be the incarnation of Weiss

Amazing...but i still think Ekachai version of Passacaglia is the best ever.(Naxos cd)
Sounds very harpsichord-esque.
