Great performance...very interesting fingerings that add more character to certain passages...i'm not sure about all those pauses, they break the flow of the piece a bit...that's just my opinion.
Thanks for posting this video! By far the best live performance of this prelude I've ever heard. Amazing grace and an expressive tone matched by none. This guy is one of the best classical guitarists in the world.
Your point is that you have no point man. You're just self-indulging in musicological masturbation! I can conjure up 27 guitar recordings of "great" guitarists that also have the last four notes. You "forgot" to mention the first low E is also omitted in the 1815 Petersburg manuscript by the way... Furthermore, regarding "modesty, these videos are not posted by Jan himself. It's about the music man. By trying so desperately to make a point here, it seems to me you missed the point completely.
What I am actually saying is "get a life". Bach never wrote for the guitar, yet Gidon Kremer said to me once if we were to follow nitpicking musicologists like you we should all cut a piece from the neck of our Guadanini's and gut string them untill they sound like sterilised tomcats. The right words in English are "terms" and "musicological". What the hell are you doing commenting on a guitar page if -since Bach never wrote for it- it should never be played on this instrument anyway? Jeez'
How about you go and bother the 9000 or so other guitarists that are "illegally" playing Bach on their non-approved instruments? Didn't your parents give you enough attention when you were young or something? You are so far gone up your own nose in selfrighteousness I'm not even having this discussion with you. What I was actually saying was "it's about the music" Are you deaf like Beethoven? What incredible arrogance to presume to know what anyone thought or felt who's been dead for 259 years!

I agree. Modesty does go a long way, nonetheless it is still a great performance. And those last 4 notes are Bach's idea. They are part of the Lute suite, BWV 1006a, and not the Violin Partita, BWV 1006, in which is was transcribed from.
Yes there is. Look up Bach's Lute Suite No. 4 in E major. The catalog number is BWV 1006a. It is a direct transcription of all the movements from his third Partita for Solo Violin in E, whose catalog number is BWV 1006. And there is the Sinfonia for Cantata No. 29, which you already mentioned. Regardless, if you listen to the prelude from Bach's lute suite, you will hear those last four notes.
Musical, techniquement impeccable (sur scène, la perfection n'est pas de cemonde), continuez, je vous en prie, on a besoin de vous dans ce monde de misérabilisme artistique triomphant !
