Re-issue Notes:
The Four Lute Suites CD (pictured above) is incomplete, including only the Lute Suites (as the title would suggest), and misses the two Prelude & Fugues. I don't own a copy of this CD, but understand that it wasn't remastered very well.
A later re-issue on two separate CDs with other works, is much better:
Lute Works Volume I (items 1,3,4,6)
Lute Works Volume II (items 2,5)
Interestingly, that CD edition does not include this recording of the Prelude, Fugue & Allegro BWV 998, preferring the older recording from More Virtuoso Music a decade earlier.
The Lute Suites were also re-issued in the summer of 2006 in Sony's Great Performances series, although the order in which the compositions are presented is different.
Other CDs also include tracks from this set:
John Williams Plays Bach (2001) includes Suite No. 1 BWV996 and Suite No. 3 BWV995.
The World of John Williams (bonus disc with John Williams Plays the Movies) includes the Prelude from Lute Suite No. 4 BWV 1006A and
The Ultimate Guitar Collection (2004) includes the Gavotte from Lute Suite No. 4 BWV 1006a.
