Dear Unruh,

This Sarabande by Bohm is beautiful and very delicate, I had never heard it before.
A truly excellent choice of instruments and settings in Pianoteq.
Thanks for sharing it.
Carmelo

Thank you Unruh for sharing this one. Nicely played and I like those small often coming thrills. Delicate, yes, but almost a bit thrilling   Your quick back-and-forth between notes gives a bit excitement to it.
Well done!

P.S.
When I saw and listened I remebered a Sarabande by Handel that I played as a child. Here a "rock" version by the German Uwe Korn (you might know him?)
Based on a Sarabande by Georg Friderich Händel. Arr. Uwe Korn. 
Living in South Germany, Uwe Korn works as a music teacher, pianist and composer. The spectrum of his works as a composer and arranger ranges from piano to symphonic music, with a special focus on jazz music as well as on music for teaching purposes for all ages.
The short drum section at the end is my own addition. Wanted to try. I have of course a recording without drums too. and with piano.
I thought this might interest you because of Uwe Korn

Hello Carmelo,
thank you very much for listening and for your kind words.

I had first considered playing this composition with the harpsichord. I then decided - also in view of your beautiful music recordings - to use the Bösendorfer for the recording.

I have already recorded the Courante from this suite with the harpsichord:

Hello Stig,
Thank you very much for listening and for your kind words.

I am not familiar with the composer Uwe Korn. I looked around - after your tip - and discovered some interesting recordings such as “Caballos Españoles” by Uwe Korn.

Your recordings of the Sarabande (Händel/Korn) are interesting and a special way of interpreting baroque music.

Many thanks for your efforts and best regards
J. Unruh
