I don't know if it's the same.

[paul8742]

[klausbreuer2]

[SergioLuizValentini]

beautiful

[luxlunna]

So beautiful.... I love!

[fgesley]

Excellent version!!! I´d like to get this score, can someone help me?

[PACO20072007]

¿cuando colocan mas videos de Lie Jie?

[migeruu]

perfeito!

^^

[MrRudetski]

I cant help but comparing all version to the one from Michael Hedges on the harp-guitar ... this is beautiful but it's all ... notes in a row so to speak .... not a single human being that ever lived could play his guitar like him and make this piece come ALIVE. Michael, I miss you, man.

[maryline1967]

Prime example of human potential

[blister1324]

woah

[manwiles]

I am so glad you shared your talent with us. I love your playing.

[Zolantor]

Does anybody have the sheets for this perticular arrangement? I'd love to get my hands on them :3

[fgesley]

@Zolantor If you get the score please send it to me. Regards!!!

[Yadandadandandaa]

@Zolantor Have the notes for the whole suite. Playing along to this clip at the moment.. :)

[VIcadenciaperfeita]

@Zolantor I think it's Segovia's one.

[fgesley]

@Zolantor I´d love to get it in my hands too, so, if you get them please send it to me by mail please! My best, Fernando Esley.-

[erastwonky]

No matter if u are good or even great at something, there will be always some oriental guy that is better than you. =(

[stifhenalternativo]

un puto virtuoso.

[nHDarkLordHn]

Chuck Norris also plays this on a guitar with his feet :P

[Darkdead95]

@nHDarkLordHn

Screw that!

Chuck Norris can play this on guitar without a guitar

[MagpieRising]

my version of this doesn't have the added bass notes.. :(

[89arnburg]

Does metallica have a cover of this?? ha ha ha

[529376100]

its in classical for guitar book.

If you guys want to play it correctly play it in 432 hz NOT 440.

[sofiatialim11]

hey where can  i learn this..ultimate guitar doesnt have it :((((((

[GHIIIGNT]

@sofiatialim11 If you know how to read sheet music, its everywhere!!!

[tdlasut]

suena muy bonito pero me parese que suema mejor en chelo

[noreckof]

Que dificultad Diós!!!

[xcaluhbration]

Every video with someone Asian performing a technical piece or any piece for that fact there is always the, "No soul" comments. Add that one to the list of racial stereotypes i guess. Amazing work, she didn't fall out of bed knowing how to do play that clean, that is YEARS and DECADES of hard practice. Learn this piece or attempt to learn any work and you will have appreciation for those who give there all for our enjoyment.

[alternatehistories]

@xcaluhbration You're right...it takes "soul" to persist at something long enough to become a virtuoso like this young lady. AFAIK, James Brown couldn't play Bach's music on a classical guitar.

[xcaluhbration]

@alternatehistories Maybe, but that man could perform like no other lol

[arfurlife]

@xcaluhbration well said xcaluhbration. I agree with your comments. Anyway this is played beautifully with loads of soul and intensity. Its a truly fine, top class rendition and some of us out here love it. 10 out of 10 from me.

[thedanisrobert]

this is fantastic!

[LucianLipciuc]

how can someone dislike this wonderful music and played so well? omg

excelent wok Lie Jie

no question

[narwhal5646]

That doesn't look like a cello to me...

Forgetting the fact that it is on the worn instrument... This is excellent! I always love to hear classical guitar =]

[chronohugo]

Wow, her execution is incredibly clean, she doesnt even make any strings buzz even a little. I am impressed.

@finixhalo woah! howd you that!

[dunklejonas]

wonderful, she is a guitar prodigy

[tq01iqi]

This video was shot about 8 or 9 years ago. I still remembered that I watched her performance when I was still in high school in China. The videos of her playing lots of classical pieces by Bach and Paganini was broadcast on CCTV 10 or CCTV Music every afternoon around 6pm.

[LucianLipciuc]

Its just amazing xD

[fafus1994]

pag 17 of comments for seeing C2Dlive comment

[wdabrilvi]

@fafus1994 pag 18... of comments for seeing C2Dlive comment hahahahahaha

[petthemama]

She's a cutie

[atamjosue]

ella no golpea la primera notaq como acostumbran algunos chelistas :DDDD

[maniau88]

@atamjosue es obvio mi querido atamjosue, es una guitarra con la que ejecuta la suite... Por cierto, no debemos olvidar que la pieza que ejecuta es de Bach para cello, pero este arreglo, es una transcripción de la Autoria de Manuel Ma. Ponce, compositor mexicano que por petición de Andres Segovia, transcribió esta pieza para la guitarra

[shutting1978]

Meus parabéns. Fiquei comovido com a performance. Belíssimo trabalho.

[MeegsRocha]

Wow!! Just wow!! Little jealous. Don't know what made me look this up, glad I did!!

[lobenro]

holy shit i can play that piece on three instruments but i dont have that base part with it which i think is amazing that she was able to do that and her form is amazing but then again she's chinese. I hope to play that piece with a base base guitar and violin at the same time...(different people of course.And if i can find a cello.... I WANT HER BABY

[ChiHavalina]

Very pure and a rarely authentic measure as such . Hard to take , hard to beat . really appreciate the asian ´s doing that classical stuff . One of my favourites here is

that little girl , playing the minute waltz . Same thing - absolutely outstanding technique , precisely . Some of these masters would be proud .

[gonggamshan]

26 people should burn in a terrible fire

[Vichdz828]

My soul has just made love to this song.

[kasumimi]

I've searched and searched but I just can't seem to find this particular transcription... any ideas :(

[sircloud7]

@kasumimi i think it's by andres segovia, i personally don't like it this transcription (though it's obviously well-played here), i feel like he added those extra bass notes just to make it harder

[LeaChan94]

She's incredible

[frugowy]

I like it :)

[Lct2001]

The best interpretation youtube video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Rabinowitzstu]

ok, you have the mechanics down, but where's the soul?

[btk2002]

@Rabinowitzstu She isn't allowd to display such emosion in her country

[marcel5025]

OMG!!

Fantastic!

[KittyRokher]

That is a Russian Guitar, not a classical guitar, I believe.

I can tell from a few strings and because I've seen a lot of guitars.

[4540524]

@KittyRokher Your comment is copypasted, not made by yourself, I believe.

I can tell from a few characters and because I've seen lots of comments.

[KittyRokher]

@4540524

It's not, but wait....

...I smell channer.

[4540524]

@KittyRokher And also, your profile image looks shopped...

[KittyRokher]

@4540524

You seem like a Brazilian.

I can tell from a few HUEHUEHUEHUE and because I've seen a lot of Brazilians.

[KittyRokher]

@4540524

Make love to me.

[4540524]

@KittyRokher Ok, but be gentle :3

[theviciousguitar]

Anybody know who arranged this transcription? I have this piece memorized already for the classical guitar however this version is of course exponentially greater in the dexterity of both hands.

[krigerenfugl]

[poserlooser]

Tthe song just has so much more feeling when played on the cello.

[endorbrook]

wonderful, thank you.

[alvarenque95]

YA LO QUE!!!!  :)

[ryoya001]

なんてやさしい音色なんだ

[dominic0147]

[alvarenque95]

voy a intetar sacarlo en mi guitarra!

[davanob]

ala dammit

[ETERNALWORRIOR]

This piece always reminds me of trying to grab something that always just out of reach. Very beautiful.

[Andresampa]

magnificent

[skickboy]

mamma mia che brava !!!!!!

[petemurphy5]

the website classtab.org has almost the exact tab...BWV 1007 - Prelude Cello Suite No 1 in G

scroll down to the second tab, it's the Andrés Segovia version.

[Eckchria]

This is such a beautiful arrangement and is played with awesome time touch and feel

[EX0michAel]

very nice ! Check my version of Prelude on my channel ! its pretty cool !

[CharvelJackson5150]

this is a beautiful work of art.

[moderateviolence]

She makes it look so big, thought it was a 12 string at first...

[liberteecabbage]

@moderateviolence That's why it's good to date chicks with small hands. ;)

[jeromek12345]

@liberteecabbage I never date chicks whith small hands...

[liberteecabbage]

@jeromek12345 That stands to reason if you don't date chicks.

[JackSmith07]

@jeromek12345 Why don't you date chicks with small hands? Personally I find long slender hands to be quite attractive. But still, I cant see boycotting a chick because of her hand size. What makes you so anti-smallhands?

[jeromek12345]

@JackSmith07 Never had a litle talk with your dad about that "funny" feeling?

[JackSmith07]

@jeromek12345 what do u mean? my dad? im probably reading you wrong. you mean you like to be fingered by long fingered chicks?? haha thats messed up. Its cool though.

[rawrgDX]

I think the tempo is fine. Just needs a little more tenderness. Very smooth transitions though. Couldn't play it better myself, granted I haven't been playing long.

[MrStoneMasher]

Is that one of those new Honda robots. Not bad, explains the lack of soul.

[TheGhostInYourMind]

a little cold...

[sparklebright69]

Played with feminie touch with energy observed in the script but wanting more artistry.

[GirlnamedMaddi]

too fast... but who gives a crap? I WANT TABS. NOW.

[AtomicFunk52]

@GirlnamedMaddi why don't you read sheet music like everybody else?

[GirlnamedMaddi]

@AtomicFunk52 uhmm i do, and i can actually play this on viola, cello, and piano... which does require sheet music.

[Bearhawk58]

I think that is an angel.

[TheKerzaks]

I'd like to say, that anybody could learn to play something like this, but to compose something like this.. well, that's a different story. if some 7 year old kid learns to play Bach.. well, I'd say that he is being forced by his government or somebody else to that just to prove, that this particular country is full with new Mozarts or Paganinis. I'm not trying to say that it is bad to know how to play this, but I seriously doubt, that this is a proof of genius.

[h4xm4n]

Wow. This is so cool. I love some of the comments. It's good to know that Li Jie is anywhere between 7 and 1000 years old. It really says something about her playing ability.

What really surprises me is that there are 22 dislikes at the time I'm typing this. How could anyone actually dislike this beautiful piece?

[imperiumdiaboli]

@h4xm4n Maybe they think she's playing it too fast. I'm not fond of this tempo, personally.

[yumeybaconcutout]

this is, undoubtedly, one of the greatest guitar recordings ever made.

[vulcanicspice]

Brilliant :)

LarissaFMattos (Video 02 - n.1/JSBach Prelude)

[citiesonflames]

@c2dlive haha shes actually probably 30. asians don't age

[whannes]

@citiesonflames Lies. They are born 90 and age revertedly throghout their whole 1000-year lives.

[xcaluhbration]

@citiesonflames Till they hit 43 then BAM!!!! Wrinkle city.

[CuddlyBadger]

@citiesonflames Exactly right. Born in 2011.

[krnlxndrr]

@citiesonflames They do, it just happens all at once. They're either 12 or 80. XD

[TheEs379]

@citiesonflames Nope, she was actually 15 during that take.

[hrag1596]

hija de su....

[radu2kus]

I doubt that she could play vibrato by shaking the whole guitar...only if she had a fretless one

[TheCamelFactor]

Beyond belief, It has taken me 30 years of practice, to derive 20% of the musicality this 7 years displays with extraordinary ease. (Make you give up)

[halan2008]

Ah, pero Segovia no es fiable en música barroca

[tlara209]

Bach...

[gianluca97segovia]

beautiful compliments,

Can I know the author of this transcription?

[gianluca97segovia]

beautiful compliments

Can I know the author of this transcription?

[CoindropSteve]

bellissima!!

[GirlnamedMaddi]

yeah... shes faking. (:

[nickodood]

@bumice911 She's playing the Andres Segovia version

[bumice911]

did she write those bass lines?? i never heard it like this

[liberteecabbage]

Added her own twist to it. Nice.

[XurbX]

Great song , impeccable fretwork. A bit mechanical though , a lot of the feeling is lost.

[liberteecabbage]

@XurbX Asian = robot.

[Oilasor925]

@liberteecabbage It's actually vice versa, because asians buid robots.

[tinman5680]

@stomachlining perfection.... i have played for decades also but not like this I only wish

[jstebb1]

All I can say is WOW!

[frenk1973]

wow

[oz0113]

This is magnificent!

[hhold]

Who transcribed this piece for guitar??

[mikashb]

@hhold HAY UNA MAGNIFICA EDICION DE ESTA OBRA EDICIONES YOLOTL, ESTA ARMONIZADA POR EL GRAN MAESTRO MANUEL M. PONCE. TE LA RECOMIENDO AMPLIAMENTE, ESTA IMPECABLE.

[hhold]

@mikash

Gracias hombre (the only Spanish I know)

[mikashb]

@hhold Sorry Man. I missunderstood your question. The Bach's No. 1 Cello Suite was transcribed for the Guitar by the Great Andres Segovia, and later was armonized by Manuel M. Ponce. Regards

[hhold]

@mikashb

Don't worry I got the original Spanish. Thanks.

[anunenthusiast]

oh my god. so talented

[keto6789]

Lie Jie is GOD!!! Plus, she's cute!

[micmacnz]

Beautiful, just beautiful...

[ellobocrisna]

Japanese people doesn't count D:

[jolocoloco]

terrifying :( still perfect :S

[frankg3rd]

J.S Bach & Segovia would be proud of your interpretation ! Your skill is without question !

[coreyagraph]

a mistake on 1.19! .....just a wonderful player.......and a wonderful arrangement. where could that be obtained?

[partykide]

Feels empty

[jonjonjonmw3]

@partykide Would you still say that if a 60 year old white dude played the exact same thing?

Just saying.

[proton58]

@partykide

"feels empty"

May I help you complete your thought: "I feel empty after hearing this because I know I will never play on the same level as this young, female, non-western person"

[witwaltman]

Beautiful. Masterful. And what a creative arrangement, with the added bass voicings1

[mostlyharmless11]

People should think about voicing on the guitar like this more often, with multiple voices going on at once. I think it shows that the guitar is much more useful than most people think.

[folkhippy]

I don't know what the nay-sayers are taking about. This was an amazing performance, she just upped the tempo. I found plenty of feeling and emotion.

[kor34ndog]

i kinda like this song played on the cello in a room where the sound is captured

no actually i think it sounds way better lol

[Coppertunes]

It took me fookin ages to learn her to play this piece, paid off in the end though. Well done sweetcheeks.

[joemazaratz]

she plays this piece beautifully.

The guitar transcriptions are not so Bach-ish . The bass line does not present the bachquesque pattern , but the interpretation of this transcription is worthy of watching.

The guitar transcription is not so good , but the guitar player is magical
