Anna Likhacheva plays Prelude J. S. BACH from cello suite BWV 1008

[FGFBACH]

she is drinking water

[sanmiguel89]

That's exactly what I see too... her phrasing is OUT OF THIS WORLD, even more expressive than Ana Vidovic, who's 25! Way to go, Anna!

Ever since Tchaikovsky, the Russians have a LOCK on the emotional side of instrumentation... just WOW!

[lispectorando]

I like her phrasing! =) There are so many different possibilities in this piece...

[The19902]

When did Penny from TBBT become such a great guitarist? xD

[MrPisicologo]

bona



[horaciomeb]

Soy aficionado a la guitarra, en realidad no se mucho, pero desde mi punto de vista, a muchas de las composiciones clasicas no les encuentro cuadratura. me quedo con Tarrega, Brouwer, Peña.

[AnatolyEast]

Красиво!

Молодец Анна!

[inman1a]

Simply beutiful...ANNA has a beutiful soul its exspressed by her playing ...Well done....

[DiMaEF]

Здорово!

Это подзвучка такая? или гитара? что на высоких нотах кажется звук шершоватым какимто)

@rey06y Amigo, estoy de acuerdo en que nunca sabremos mucho sobre el barroco, lo que a mi me queda claro es que sí tocamuy fuerte esta mujer y que le pone efecto al equipo de sonido. A mí en lo personal no me gusta, no creo por ello ser un estúpido, al contrario me agrada tener una amplia libertad para reconocer lo que me gusta y lo que no me gusta, y si a tí en lo particular te gusta como toca esta chava mejor reservate tus comentarios vulgares.

Languid Bach. I drink tea in the sunlight of the afternoon calmly. As for that, I hope for nothing this sun. She is the sun.

[boatingballoon]

I can sure say it if we play this for the examination.You cannot expect highier point.All suit from BACH that We play or perform everytime cannot be the same.They are too emotion due to our internal feeling.Technically have not any problem.For me dont say this or that about the performance.Just play with your hearts.And try to understand the players expression.

@IsraelOleaGPVFM estaria bien que respondieras con un video con la misma pieza y comparar musicalmente no solo criticar con palabras

[GuitarMonst3r]

Если бы у меня была такая жена я был бы самым счастливым на свете! :) Молодец Анна!

[GCLwins]

P.S. Her rendition is phrased almost identically to Slava's (Rostropovich's) brilliant 1956 Vanguard recording of Bach Suites 2 and 5.

Good choice!

[GCLwins]

She's really all grown up by now, isn't she? :)

And she chose the most beautiful Bach Cello Prelude to transcribe (of all the six).

This Prelude is the the most fulfilling musically of all the Cello suite movements - Papa Bach just ran wild on this, and poured his heart and soul into it - very well done by Anna - not many guitarists transcribe or play this most beautiful suite!

Bravo!

[Michajeru]

Beautifully played. The Matthew guitar sounds great.

[philgrey0207]

Today, on November 13th, is Anna's 18th birthday. Congratulations!

Сегодня, 13-го ноября, Анне исполняется 18 лет. Поздравляем!

[1jsbachfan]

Respect ! Great ! Very nice interpretation. Many greetings and best wishes!

[ChollieD]

You have very well-developed technique, Anna.

Congratulations.

how

[crzydave69]

so theres still some fools out there that think this girl don't totally rock her art ? why pick it apart instead of just appericiating ot and her for who she is and who she brings it to the table

[mrkkitson]

I see a young lady that LOVES to play....and is gifted....I'm glad she is there playing this beautiful music.

[rollboxmaster]

What beautiful playing and style and depth. Fantastic.

Her story of guitar mastery through her childhood is quite inspirational.

The gifted among the gifted, As I heard described of another player and this girl qualifies as such. She plays with God's hand on her right shoulder and Master Segovia's on the left.  Bravo!

Wishing you a long and successful career. Thank you for posting the vid.

[EarlLedden]

After hearing the Mathews guitar on her playing of Ivushka,I've got to retract any criticism of the quality of the instrument.. Maybe in this recording the guitar was overplayed, or maybe I'm just wrong.

[drashfield]

lol its like Lang Lang with a guitar,

[EarlLedden]

Wonderful interpretation; the pace gives me time to understand the structure of the piece, and to hear the passion in the playing. It is so good that I think the guitar isn't quite up to the performance, which needs a bell like clear projection without being dulled when played loudly.

[ereskoag]

Получил удовольствие огромное от прелюдии. Любовь так и излучает твоя игра.

[bilstew]

Excellent playing and expressiveness throughout the music...Greetings from Ireland.

[kevinenglish777]

Does the show of feeling match the phrasing? I personally don't think so (body movements are not those of the music, nor are the facial expressions those of the essence of the music played at the time... This is playing with 'great feeling' but I wonder how much of that feeling is for the stresses, demands, aspirations, excessive dreams, and pressures that have been, and will continue to be, HEAPED upon her for some time to come...

[simonpoblete]

@kevinenglish777 OR maybe she is really concentrated. Look her videos where she was younger; she is doing the same expressions. Some people need to do that to get in the zone.

[MOSKII58]

@kevinenglish777 you get all that from her facial expression(s) ok

[karahan246]

Good performance, she palys in her own unique manner, and she has a feeling of what she is playing. Thanks Anna, good luck to you.... Regards from Krasnodar and Kropotkin

[sonomc2v]

esto no es Bach es Anna de mi corazón

[FrereBenoit]

Anna,

Congratulation !

And...thanks for sharing your art.

Benoît

[rzenkov]

She was born at 1993 and started to play guitar when she was 3 year old.

[RMABLUES]

She sounds great, pleasing to the ears and eyes.

[flamencoal]

You are the best :)

[MrRolando68]

Ce prélude est magnifiquement joué... c'est exactement comme celà que je le ressens, un beau moment de musique!

[yuepon13]

how old is she now?
