This is a live performance of the fugue in g-minor for solo violin by J.S. Bach (BWV 1001). Although this fugue was originally written in g-minor, this performance is in a-minor, a key better suited to accommodate the tuning of the guitar. There also exists a lute version of this fugue as well (BWV 1000), and the transcription used in this performance incorporates many of the desirable discrepencies which exist in the lute version.
This guy is way too under-rated. Only 2,444 views? And I only just found out about him via my "playing classical guitar without the nails" search.
