Late night KZbin rabbitholes lead to some amazing places!

[@utetrahemicon]

I've had a couple Twilight Zone like cosmic coincidences lately while watching YT and then going to a site called Radio Garden. I'd put the link but YT automatically deletes it. I guess because it's competition? Google it, it's EVERY radio station on Earth for free. Erin go Bragh!

[@josephanderson7237]

Yep

[@wasabijoe323]

This is the Allemanda movement from Bach's 2nd Violin Partita. 1004, not 1003 if anyone's trying to find a violin performance.

[@IIVVBlues]

His technical skills never fail to impress. No one takes the banjo uptown like Bela.

[@yukon2445]

Eventually Jens Krüger

[@jameslee5405]

Fantastic player bela fleck...probably the best player in the world....

[@rjmoney9]

I certainly haven’t seen or heard anyone better.

[@avox2612]

Probably? There is no probably about it

[@Atalanta1313]

Classical Banjo was a thing in the mid 19th century, It died out, except in one part of North Carolina where it evolved into Scruggs/Reno style.

[@josephhargrove4319]

Well played. Very nice. And a testament to the universality of J.S. Bach. richard -- {Sorry. I have to.} One of the phrases you are least likely to hear: "That's the banjo player's Porsche."

[@mid-ohioguardian6927]

If anybody was wondering ..the books & reels behind him are instructions and videos on how to play 3 finger Scruggs. And how to keep a banjo in tune !!!

[@samuelhorner6200]

Mid-Ohio Guardian wow. I’d like to visit there

[@timobrien1030]

😂

[@TROBassGuitar]

How do you keep a banjo in tune?

[@amybarrington103]

Love my Bela. His playing transports my brain waves. Fabulous, as always!!

[@archbah]

Brilliant!

[@abbyhumphrey1240]

This song is on Solo Banjo Works with Tony Trischka. But there is says Bach Violin Partita In D Minor (BWV1004).

[@whoisit01]

i'd give anything to see the look on Bach's face if he could see this

[@hommefriday]

He would love it - that's why Bach was out of this world.

[@benmilstein5654]

@@hommefriday bach would have been the hippest jazzer on the scene for sure. or the hippest at whatever style. :)

[@adamdehner7217]

@@benmilstein5654 a want the movie where Bach gets jumped to the future and becomes a neoprog metal keyboardist.

[@yukon2445]

He would probably buy a banjo

[@robbiewoodall2202]

The discipline to play classical arpeggios without sounding like a banjo roll.

[@daveandrews6670]

Fantastic playing ....

[@jasongolkiewicz5301]

I would love to hear the chaconne…. Maybe?

[@adamdehner7217]

When can we expect a tour with you and Thile? I would pay just to hear the practices.

[@udomatthiasdrums5322]

love it!!

[@richardchang1448]

God mother fuckin DAM

[@billplaney2585]

Reminds me of Bach.

[@joseph2832]

Fucking beautiful

[@derekeboyd]

He's like Eddie Banj Halen.

[@JordieFilip]

Underrated comment

[@drumitar]

Should have had victor Wooten pop out for Sinister Minister with an acoustic bass.

[@timmberr]

what a medley/mash up 👀

[@elicohen6348]

It’s a banjo, cuallito. Specsavers in your town/ village ?

[@camiloospinavaron7940]

Gigue- Partita 1004*

[@benmilstein5654]

steve miller 5.7.76

[@blisterfree]

He looked happy to get the rote classical portion behind him, honestly. It’s a form of Catholic penance, I guess.

[@neethlingswart4565]

Roger woooton

[@Jack458111]

I’ve never seen him mess up so many times in one video

[@jbcurdog72]

I play a banjo and I am familiar with Bach, I disagree! It was pretty spotless! Which parts???

[@benmilstein5654]

'its not about what note you play, its about what note you play NEXT'

[@samuelbarham8483]

I was surprised as well. It's a rather messy performance.

[@josh4106]

wtf is wrong with 4 people?

[@kaysimons8262]

John prine

[@aggabus]

bulldozer fingertip

[@nonenoneonenonenone]

No expression whatsoever, just a technical exercise. Waste of time.
