    Would someone please compile a short list of Bach played on mandolin by classically trained musicians. All I have in my collection are hit or miss things by Chris Thile, Mike Marshall and some cross over stuff, not necessarily Bach but classical music with Sam Bush with the Short Trip Home project with my home boy, Joshua Bell (Bloomington, Indiana). I would like to add some classical music played on mandolin and guitar to my CD collection. I will appreciate all recommendations, even non-Bach pieces.

    Old folky, trying to expand his horizons.

    hi

    I think the Modern Mandolin Quartet has some Bach on their recordings

    for great classical mandolin get the CD's of Carlo Aonzo, although I don't think he has any Bach on his recordings

    for the bach sonatas on mandolin look at this link
    I have not listened to it though

    Duetto Giocondo had done the French Suite #3 on their Baroque Music for Mandolin and Lute. The French Suites are for piano, but this one sounds very nice. Not sure if Katerina Lichtenberg is playing this one on a baroque mandolin or a more modern one...I can play the Allemande on a modern mandolin.

    Shmuel Elbaz from Israel has recorded the violin sonatas and partitas with his Kerman. Worth getting.
    Also the 1st cello suite on the Kerman quartet album.

    Other Israeli classical mandolinists include Jacob Reuven, Alon Sariel (those two have just recorded an album together which includes I think Bach pieces), Avi Avital, Tom Cohen. All very talented
    Dorina Frati (mandolin) & piera Dadoma (guitar) have recorded a Bach album. Good as well.
    Well established classical mandolin players include Alisson Stephens, Marylinn Mair, Carlos Aonzo and many more. Check on Youtube to see them perform.
