[sicala]

beautiful colours!

[fillfucker]

amazing well done

[walterbrnrd]

It's very original and it follows exactly the Bach's style. Very very good!!!!!!!

[Seattlecarnut]

I love it! It shows that you can play classical music using both traditional (mandolin and acousitc guitar) and modern (bass guitar) instruments.

[thetandy2]

Superb, my friend! A quite rare piece to hear, and all done by one person. This piece was featured many years ago in Kurt Vonnegut's "Slaughterhouse Five"

Congrats!

[fetermcblues]

I wish you are in a band cos this is worth watching live ...perfection ...bravo !!

[omarobre]

Oh yeah, this is a good video...

Nice playing by the way...

[azkeyz]

I couldn't stop listening the entire first time , well done.

a clear musical victory.

[MrIkesimba]

The sheer bad-assery of this is colossal



[Kibblesd00d]

[fetermcblues]

Big fan from Alabama, USA . I like symphony music but your music has so much intensity to it, and with just three instruments!For gods sakes!You may not like this part of my comment but man forget the rock band and travel with a bass player ,guitar player and may be to really blow people away a kettle drumer.You could get all concerts you want .AH start in South Alabama if you dont mind,Walt

[Witchgreeneyed]

it's amazing, wonderful and exellent, Maestro!!! Bravissimo!!!

[ran2527]

Que barbaro, rajadisismo... Esa pieza es para violin, pero la mandolina tiene la misma afinacion. Excelente.

[muziekacademiecello]

[huangshulang80]

Amazing. I love this piece, and you did a wonderful job.

[Changles]

COOL!!!

[inloveofpoo]

AWESOME !!! sounds almost the same as violin using pizzacato =p

[GitarenEnBananen]

This is great.

[jvmuss7]

Bravo! Bach would be pleased. I'm going to show this to my music appreciation class.

[seahyimin]

wow! makes me want to learn plucking instruments

[insistence]

really great!

[grisfisken]

Inspiring!

[TrueDeva]

Loved it :) Favorited.

[CharlieHarperRulez]

Absolutely great!

I'm learning the lead part myself (for guitar) and I have to say the hardest part is definitely the second half of the second interlude...

[datoreviol]

Pretty nice!!!

[dottenday]

That's just frigging brilliant.

[dottenday]

That is just brilliant. Well done

[dottenday]

That is absolutely brilliant!

[Naschef]

I thought I had heard it all. This is just magic. I applaud you sir. Utterly brilliant. I have played this on the violin and it is hard. I still have a smile.

[cosmos680]

Totally cool and Excellent execution WOW !!

[freiuggio]

Heartwarming... Frantic... :)

[killergirls]

Well done. I appreciate this! But a suggestion...maybe you wanna go easy on the echo effects for future Mandolin melody lines?

[Villagejonesy]

Awesome accomplishment, bobfresco! Great work.

[memonk11]

A friend and I used to get together and play both the A minor and the E Major concerto. Him on guitar, me on bass. We weren't nearly as good as you. This is fantastic. Thanks for posting this. Can't wait for more!

[jorel845]

I wonder: do you hear music like this all day long in your head? You are blessed and gifted.

[king7wood]

A most accomplished and enjoyable performance! Imagine... triplets.

[geacguitar]

great

[Thying1]

My friend, I think you have a lot of musical skin that I should learn from you! Good!

Your sincerely,

thying

[heeelga]

That's amazing. Brilliant quality. Is this a shure sm58?

[bobfresco]

@heeelga thanks.

Nah, it's a cheapo version: Shure PG58. I use an SM57 now (will probably get a better mic than that in the future too).

[heeelga]

@bobfresco Ah, but great quality anyway. Keep it on.

[mjb565656]

I hear your great passion for Bach,thanks,thanks,thanks!

[DavesRiffage]

Very nice! I'm only starting to realize the potential of J.S. Bach on mandolin - God bless :)

[LBVeil4215]

Fantastic. Thanks very much for this.

[infledermaus]

That's superb! Did you arrange it? I assume so. Very, very nice! Very nice! Also one of my favorite Bach concerti! Thanks for sharing.

[toha73]

Beautiful! <3

[humanrights4all]

Nice job on all three, specifically the Bass...

[ganemgg]

just a word....AWESOME!!!

[mcadolfo]

Excellent, brilliant... Congratulations...

[zeNinjan]

Fucking awesome.

Love when people impress.. :)

[hatecrewsix2]

nice!! i have a question for U , what program do u use to record the simultaneous cameras views?

[Anelriel]

Incroyablé!

Bést óf Britysh, m8! ;D

[arasinda]

Congratulations from Hungary.

[Trasheador]

Congratulations, this sounds great, and serves as a proof of bach's genius. What he wrote sounds great played in any instrument, and my guess is it will continue to sound great in instrument that were not yet invented.

[0000000000156]

It's beautiful! I played this on the violin a while befor and it was difficult to play fast! And now, you are here, playing it fast, nice and all voices!

[101violinguitar]

is thta mandolin from amazon?

[danieldalarossa]

Beautiful !

Do you play Brazilian Choro ?

[Guy27M]

Great performance! It sounds as if you recorded it in a cathedral. Is that some kind of sound effect? Anyway, I think you should continue this kind of work. I would be so happy if you recorded the first two movements of this concerto.

BRAVO!

[CaptainMorgan896]

Incredible talent!

[kosigus]

Thats great playing and video editing. Excellent stuff. The mandolin looks like an Eastman?

[bobfresco]

thanks kosigus!

It is indeed an Eastman..MD505 (cheapest model I believe)...but highly recommended!

I'll have another one of these videos up in the next 24 hours!

[Librepensador83]

Absolutely beautiful! I love Bach!This piece is something amazing!

[BodhranMasterclass]

Love, love, love it. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent.

[nobandman]

NICE

[alexeykr]

[xprikol]

Hi, its really amazing. I like it very much. Its one ofmy favorites classic songs, but you playing it much better! Great.

Can i have it in mp3 for me please?

Thanks

[ChocloManx]

You are my hero. Thank you.

[verdecillo]

wow! I had never heard this played on anything other than violin before- you did a great job!

[Dejital]

Ben, you should watch the film Rushmore or just check out the soundtrack. This kind of sound is very reminiscent of the official soundtrack.

[nils82]

wow an 8 stringed mandolin. not everyday =) fantastic work

[TheMusicOfWhy]

most mandolins have 8 strings...

[SheeopCash]

I love this!

[samisay2]

Nice job. Well done, bravo!!

[Griffo1709]

In other words your's is better

[Griffo1709]

Shame that Bach's or Mozarts version of this song dosn't sound like luke this because i actually it in this tone. Fantastic. Well done!

[pbaron23]

Bravo!

[iiimandolin]

that's realy cool! Well done!

[89Machoman89]

Very good!

I like your mandolin! :D

[musicmafia22]

You should try unplugged so you can hear the dirty parts even better.

[8strings]

You are very talented!

[RickChimera]

Fantastic!
