Andrea Dieci plays Bach Chaconne part 1

[hbela1000]

True master !

[ScouseFolky]

the change at 4:58 blows me away...Superb!!!

[MrJrabski]

The key to this piece is a constant tempo from the first to the last bar as if a metronome was being used. Most guitarists do not achieve this. Narciso Yepes provides a good example of this aspect of the Chaconne.

[bilstew]

Here the thread running throough the masterful work of Bach is upheld so splendidly by the technique of a fine guitarist.. Well played indeed and a real joy to listen to.

[jsnauwaert]

Well... at least he tries. Quite good (not excellent, due to technical difficulties).

[Daim0th]

@jsnauwaert

I'll never understand why everybody hammer-ons the fast linear bits. Is speed an issue for these men? Because if that's so, that's rather sad.

[toogoodbw]

he is very good (much better than me) but he does drop the tempo in a not good way

[Hailstormand]

Shivers, man! Shivers! Sublime! This is the rare case of a good remake.

[paulandlesson]

Great sound and elegance. Beautiful.

[buzzzz7777]

@dinkipooxa Every guitarist will have their unique style. Even the ones that look like a robot. I'm impressed with how well they play pieces that are difficult. I'm working on 'Chaconne' and Prelude 1006a. Fun to play - very difficult to do well. Cheers!

[rafael55]

the only thing thats important is the sound, it should be beautifull and pure.

[RDSerebrianny]

It's worth noting, that Horowitz and Rubinstein did play with physical gestures, particularly near climaxes. This was part of the natural joy of playing the instrument, and is not an attempt to 'convey' with gestures in compensation for musical defects, which I believe is probably what you are (rightly) criticizing. However, the presence of many gestures is not direct evidence of the musical defects.

[RDSerebrianny]

I never said that 'moving with the music displays great feeling for it'. It's important to be able to read. My point was unimportance of these matters of gesture if the sound produced is artistic.

I agree with the choice of artists you have named, but would not disqualify others from this group merely because of some irrelevant gestures. 'Showing' a lack of 'oneness' is again visual cue in sound medium. If you can genuinely detect inferior interpretation without seeing the musician, fine!. :-)

[RDSerebrianny]

Music is a sound medium, and what the artists need to do to produce sound is irrelevant... being distracted by the technical process of playing is a listener's problem. Being most impressed by the artists with least physical movements is also only a technical appreciation.

If you want to talk about being most impressed by the artists who create a beautiful interpretation with the minimal musical means, that is different, and certainly very valuable. :-)

[Nicolasduca]

I do the same T_T

Its too hard to not move with the music =(

[elaguilaruge]

great great great..

amazing

[yundzhel]

Guitare classique - Kaori Muraji - Chaconne bwv 1004

[muurtalo]

The great Passacaglia is the Mount Everest but the Chaconne is sure as hell K2.

[crediama]

Ottima esecuzione, Buono l'audio, meno il video purtroppo.

Complimenti

[ebutuoy200849]

Exquisite playing congratulations

[JoJoVi11111]

Very nice with a very good sound, thanx for posting.

If you like to hear Bach on Steelstring guitar you may shearch for Pal Palikovics or check my videos it is also amazing.

[Freeflyer201]

It's amazing it's sounds better than on the violin.

[mimbster1972]

Great playing. This piece is best playing with classical guitar. If you have a chance, check out the Christopher Parkening's version. This particular piece, I don't think anyone plays better than him and I've listened to many versions for about 3 decades now.

[lau399]

@Freeflyer201 --- This is a very bad comment because you cannot compare both instruments. You cannot put down one or the other one because you just "like it".

[Straichen]

@lau399 Isnt it silly to assume that all instruments are created equal, or that people should have an equal opinion of all instruments. If I like the sound of this chaconne on guitar more than violin (which I do) then sue me for saying it sounds better on guitar. Go play a Haydn quartet or something.

[LeoLovesNature]

@Freeflyer201 They sound different.

[buzzzz7777]

One of the greatest compositions of all time.

Bravo!!!

[firewall012]

the greatest violin composition I'd wager

[poupee58]

The instrument ought to sound amazing,it is a Romanillos and they cost an arm and a leg.

[butifarra61]

I had the chance to dance to it...and it is such a wonderful piece of music. forever in my heart. thanks for posting.

[ftyfty123]

wonderful! 5*

[Nubzrule]

amazing

[buzzzz7777]

The mighty Chaconne can be played, played very well, but never mastered - the piece always wins. Oh the suffering that must take place to learn 'Chaconne'.

I'm attempting to learn Bach's Prelude BWV 1006a - and it's kicking my butt. I may never get to 'Chaconne"

I am humbled by those that can play this piece.

Exquisite playing.  Bravisimo!!

[toseemadonna]

this guy sucks! Haven't you heard of Slash or Twisted Sister...JUST KIDDDING.

This guy is amazing. Amazing tone from the guitar. Great player.

[Liranm89]

Wonderful interpretation!! what a great guitar player!

[31041955]

wonderful!

[joelbs1]

That instrument sounds amazing. And the Andrea really knows how to use is. Amazing tone. Well done.

[paulgiamb]

I remember Andrea while he was still a student, and his talent was already great!

[martinfedyna]

Buenisimo !! saludos de argentina.

[sunmyungmoon]

A very fine, flawless performance. Well done!!!

[Prackasch]

I love this piece, and it a beautiful interpretation.

I particulary like the end, original.

good!

[Curatica]

Your video may be better than this one but your moral character certainly ain't and that's what matters most. Sorry.

[marcocristofaro]

Una performance eccezionale, come ormai poche se ne sentono. La raffinatissima musicalità, la fluidità nel fraseggio, la padronanza tecnica impeccabile e i colori impiegati rendono questa esecuzione della Ciaccona tra le più belle. Grazie!!!

Marco.

[GiovanniNibale]

A wonderful performance!!

Very refined, clear and powerful sound.

You and your "Romanillios" are unique!

Many thanks for that!

All the best.
