Craig Schoedler CD is a living proof that certain kinds of music remain beautiful through the times. And this is a fine and innovative example. The six string eletric bass and the beauty of Sebastian Bach compositions create an unique combination between the modern and the classic. A good choice for the open-minded listeners.

Bach is tough to do, especially on the bass. Craig lays it down and plays it downright perfect and musical! Definitely recommend to bassists.

it's pretentious to gab on an on about Schoedler's phrasing, and particulary his right-hand technique on this disc - although these are two extremly high points of interest for the practicing electric bassist listening to this album... in short, if you like Bach, this is a tasteful and skilfully implimented recording, if you're a bassist, this is a good example of how hours of practicing eventually DO pay off, and if you're a classical music purist, you should read up on the history and devolopment of the electric bass guitar, and listen to this album through a set of headphones very loudly.Schoedler has excellent technique,a fine ear for phrasing, and takes what could too easily be written off as a "gimick" album and makes it into a well-rounded sampler of what an extended range bass is capable of in the hands of a practiced musician.

As I have listened to many different Bach cello suites played on cello so far, Schoedler's electric base guitar sound first gave me a shock. However, while listening to it, that feelinig of wrongness soon disappeared and I found myself enjoying the new experience in Bach music. I don't know much about the instrument, but I can say for sure that Bach is here!
