Default Bach “O Haupt voll Blut und Wunden” for Classical Guitar, BWV 244

Dear Folks,

How will a chorale music sounds on classical guitar? Will it sounds guitaristic too?

After a Easter, I decided to make my own guitar transcription of a Choral music from Bach St. Matthew Passion, BWV 244 No. 54.
Originally in German: O Haupt voll Blut und Wunden
English: O Sacred Head Now Wounded
Chinese: 聖首受創

Bach is great, but there's also a lot of other baroque composers who deserve to be played on guitar.

Yes, the music of Bach sound so good on guitar. I am currently preparing recording of a Prelude from cello suite no.1 on a mini guitar which is minor 3rd higher than stand tuning of guitar.

I agree. His music is sacred. Your performance pays homage to that fact. Beautifully done.
