right now I've been trying to perform this piece so wonderful I love bach
This guy plays very well and I like his interpretation so pure in the spirit of bach.
You know I think that everyone who has been at music school knows that it's really forbidden tomake personal things when u play bach. Just by respect for his work and the value of it. So when I read that so many people complaint about his interpretation and that he could do some personal things, I think those guys have no respect for bach
Allemandeis a dance. You can't dance to excessive rubato. This performance is excellent great stylistic ornamentation, awesome tone and so in the pocket.
You like this version better than the lute version because the guitar(especially this guitar)sounds much better than the lute. Only hopkinson smith can make the lute sound as beautiful as a guitar.
I´ve listened a lot to this from a recording by Jakob Lindberg,personally i like this version more because of it´s in my ears poetic power,here probably enhanced by the acoustics,echo and serenity,wich is not available on the Lute version,and probably also because of the different accentuation from two different musicians,be it modern or traditional.
...with all due respect I believe you are wrong. He uses Paul Fischer's guitars.. that is unless he made a change. I buy my guitars form the same dealer he does..
Lieber Andreas,Obwohl es wirklich schon ist daB sie Jason hier unterstutzt,Ich muB in Betracht ziehen DaB Sie veil weiterhin in Ihrem Spiel gehen als was Jason hier tut.
Hier gib's keine Uberraschungen,keine Farben auBer nur eins,nur ein affect ohne Anderung.
Ich hab' viele guitarristen gehort die genau so getan haben.Hier ist Kunst...und die Verantwortlichkeit eines Kunstlers ist...Ein personliches Sicht anzubieten.Alles beste Meinem freund
This is lovely demonstration of how to play the guitar with masterful seductiveness.The timbre of the instrument is thin,pinched,and sweet...perfect for this rhetoric.However,the expression here is not colorful or nearly as focused as your technique.There is some accelerandi but we need much more.We need varied articulation to as you place things always right before the beat...which is fine...but we need contrast there.There is also no feeling of individuated affect for individual phrases.
("no unnecessary rubati"-> This performance is rather full of almost-metronomic strictness)
ClassicalMusicReview, I definately agree with your view of this performance.
It needs more rubato and timing flexibility. While there is some expressiveness, the "Expressiveness in-line with the work's rhetoric" is missing.
The phrases are almost metronomic, in sterile predictability. (All that's possible then, is modern conveyorbelt-"expressiveness"). In a word: "boringly modern".
Dear Fasliff,I have been hoping to spur Jason to go beyond doing the same that so many guitar players like he have done before...namely playing with beautiful tone and technique with one affect through each piece unvaried.I know that he is in an envirament that will encourage him to accept minimalism to reinforce and confirm those who have already accepted this approach before him.I have heard this piece for decades performed just like this.I hope that Jason will develop a personal insight.
@faslfff Completely subjective remarks & criticisms. A piece as old as this one with a ridiculous amount of variations can't possibly be held to comparison with other performers, it's unrealistic. You make good points, however, I feel a solo performer has no limitations or conformity to his or her interpretations.
great performer.

That is a double top (cedar + spruce laminate) guitar made by Gernot Wagner in Germany. Yes, the sound is gorgeous.

I don't pretend I telephoned with Bach yesterday like most "authentic "musicians do .And yes ": I know the manuscripts from Carl Philip Emanuel .
Anyway , music is about communication
The fact that Jason moves so many people is a result of being moved oneself while playing the piece(s) and that is where it is all about .
And personaaly I hate comparising because everything is a world on its own .
Comparring things in art doesn't say anything about that what is beyond the notes .
