Actually, Bach would have applauded this arrangement. He was famous in his time as an great arranger.

@Jemoh66 A whole world of flamenco lovers disagrees with you. The chaconne is originally a dance and should be treated as such. That being said, i forgive Segovia for his fluctuation in tempo because he was a master colorer and had a very musical chaconne. Romero i don't forgive because of his unwarranted many 32nd note pauses after bass note emphasis.

@ngupowered the whole point of porting this over to the guitar is to get it away from the Tempo. It's why we like the guitar. Segovia was trying to not only garner respect for the guitar in classical circles, but also felt it was superior to other instruments as a solo instrument for the very reason that it could be so personal and polyphonic. Something that requires a sort of "disrespect for the tempo"

from Jose', the Hermeterec.........Listen to Angel run those 32nd notes just before the arpeggiated part.......Holy Cats!! Pepe can do that stuff too.
-
from Freshoffacop'sass.......I changed my mind....Angel is the best...no Pepe is best...no Angel...no, I think Pepe is better...no I think......what the heck they are both incredible...

Tempo is all over the place. Listen to Göran Söllscher if u want to know how to play this piece.

from Freshoffacop'sass.........Ange
l is an awesome player, but I think Pepe's even better! -
C'est impossible de rester de marbre devant une telle interprètation! elle est magistral avec toute la démesure et la force que contient cette oeuvre!
Angel est un ange mais musclé et sexué!
Very fine interpretation! The Historically informed performance practitioners will of course, say that Bach should not be played like this. Ignore them. BTW the section at 5:40 is the way it is written in the violin score.

Angel Romero is completely fearless in his interpretations. when you think it is already a technical challenge to sound flawless at some point (4:35) he comes up with something even harder and better (5:40).
