Johann-Sebastian Bach - Sarabande (Bwv 1007) - Baroque Lute

[raggyragsdale]

And how great is this? Beyond measure! Depth and tone of this instrument must be amazing because even in this open faced recording the richness of the bass and the play between the mid range and treble strings makes my arm hair stand on end. What a gracious presentation. I appreciate it more than I can say. Thank you. Raggy

[Luthval]

@raggyragsdale Thanks a lot Uncle Raggy ;-)

Lot of strings on this uke hé ! ;-)

Hi Erik ;-)

[Gealach74]

beautiful one! this are transcriptions specially for lute right?

i have the original G verision for cello, but i noticed that you play other bass lines ...nice version!!

[Luthval]

@Gealach74

Yes, Gusta Goldschmidt makes this beautiful transcription of four cello suites for the baroque lute (but this one is the easyer...) I play another suite, but in Rob McKillop's transcription.

[Gealach74]

The playlists of the lute you've provided are good company in the late hour as I sit here and work on a prose I'm writing. Oddly enough, the main character plays a bandalore.

The time you've put into this instrument has become a blessing to all of us. Thank you.

[Luthval]

Thank you very much, it is my pleasure to share the music I love...

Best regards

Val

[GDguitarplayer]

[Luthval]

Thanks, not more not less than guitar, some different tecnics and more strings, but same instruments family ;-)

[Robinom]

[DjosueD]

[Luthval]

Thanks

Val

[paraegi]

Bach has always been one of my favorite composers, and you more than do him justice in this piece. Absolutely beautiful!

[Luthval]

Thanks a lot, this sarabande is really beautiful, I think too... (but all music by Bach, of course is...)

Val

[SpecialTalent]

Your play and talent is so wonderful, I find myself just dreaming away here by listening. I could listen to it forever. Do you have a CD available that I could buy ? I love lute music.

[Luthval]

Thanks for the message. I do have a CD, but not with Bach music (only renaissance works for lute and renaissance guitar) See the link on my channel...

Regards

Valéry

[carpeguitarra]

Within this Bach set that you have been playing, I find this Sarabande particularly beautiful, especially how you have played it.

Thanks,

Tim

[Luthval]

Yes Tim, this is one of my favorite in this suite.

Regards,

Valéry

[Mod74]

[AlainNaigeon]

Je trouve la sarabande spécialement bienvenue au luth, à cause de tous ces arpèges qu'on a le temps de goûter, c'est très réussi !

[Luthval]

[trolabe]

A beautiful Sarabande. Just the minuets and the Gigue left, then it's complete.

Trond

[Luthval]

Hello Trond... I'm working on the menuets and gigue... but the barrés on the menuets are not easy on the baroque lute... ;-)

Best regards

Val

[trolabe]

I had forgotten the barrés so I had to look it up, now I understand how you feel.

Good luck

Trond

[SFChristo]

Thank you for a different view of the piece (richness of the 'cello, esp. on the dissonant chords of the 2nd half,traded for a more direct and "informal" sounding intimacy of the lute).

:)

[Luthval]

Thanks for the interesting comment. ;-)
