About "Partita No. 1 for Solo Violin in B Minor, BWV 1002 : J.S. Bach: Partita No. 1 for Solo Violin in B Minor, BWV 1002: VII. Bourrée "Tempo di Borea"" by Andrés Segovia

Bach's Bourrée from the First Violin Partita, arranged for guitar, is a study in stubborn grace. Segovia gives the 'Tempo di Borea' a stomping, earthy pulse, the double stops ringing like hammer blows on an anvil. It's a dance for a blacksmith, not a courtier—heavy, but oddly tender.
