No doubt, it is bravissimo!!! Even more: over the enormous work needed to be able to perform like this, I would highlight the attitude of the player towards the music he plays. It is technically perfect but, at the same time, sober as to not to permit himself any arbitrary ornament or subjective variation to show himself thus making himself the star. He serves humbly the music, so allowing the listeners to enjoy it at its highest degree. Thanks Mr. Feeley. Sin duda, bravísimo. Aún más: sobre el enorme trabajo necesario para llegar a tocar así, yo destacaría la actitud del intérprete hacia la obra que toca. Lo hace de modo técnicamente perfecto pero, al mismo tiempo, tan sobrio como para no permitirse ningún adorno arbitrario o variación subjetiva que atraiga la atención sobre sí mismo. Por el contrario, sirve humildemente a la pieza, haciendo con ello a los oyentes disfrutarla al máximo. Gracias, Sr. Feeley.

Most comments here quite rightly praise the wonderfully accomplished playing of John Feeley. One of the reasons for the brilliance of this performance is the arrangement which is also his. The miracle of KZbin allows us to easily compare this with performances by other masters such as Williams, Bream and Segovia. In my ears this tops them all, and the arrangement has a lot to do with that. I find it astonishing that until I happened to search for the great Chaconne here I had never heard of this Master of the guitar.

A fugue and a chaconne have similarities. A Chaconne always keeps the original bass line throughout and the theme goes through a series of variations. This chaconne remains in d minor for the entire first half before switching keys rather dramatically to D Major only to return to it's original d minor. A fugue takes a theme and piles them on top of itself in other voices and plays more with different individual voices continuing to develop the original thematic statement and sometimes modulating quite frequently. Fugues will often pop up in unexpected places like development sections of symphonic movements or string quartets. I hope that helps

A question to classical guitarists: you say, _Finally (...), not a single squeak. Are finger/string squeaks considered impure playing by the art and schools of classical guitar or just something inherently involved? Do guitarists endeavor to eliminate it, or perhaps only as the very final polish once everything else is perfect, or do they reckon it quite natural and not a flaw? Here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y16oZJ5obduYjMU - the rendition of Chaconne is obviously not free of squeak but does it take anything away from it? What is the opinion of the classical guitar connoisseurs?

In the grand tapestry of musical evolution, John Feely's rendition of Bach's Chaconne in D minor on the guitar emerges not just as a performance but as a revelation, casting a new light on Bach's genius with the gentle yet profound touch of the strings. Each note, meticulously crafted and emotionally charged, serves as a testament to John's technical brilliance and deep, mesmerizing artistry. This isn’t merely playing; it’s an act of transcending time, a dialogue with history, where the guitar becomes the chosen instrument to unveil new dimensions of a timeless masterpiece. Imagine, if you will, a moment where time folds upon itself, allowing Bach to step into our era and witness the evolution of his Chaconne. One can’t help but wonder at the joy and astonishment that would dance in his eyes, hearing his composition reborn with such passion and nuance. Would he marvel at the way John not only preserves the essence of his work but elevates it into a soul-stirring journey? This performance is a bridge between epochs, a dream where past and present merge under the banner of musical exploration. John, through your strings, Bach’s spirit seems to whisper across the centuries, rejoicing in the new life you’ve given his Chaconne. Your rendition goes beyond homage; it’s a vibrant, living dialogue with the maestro himself. If only Bach could witness the way you’ve transformed his legacy into an auditory spectacle that transcends what was once thought possible. Bravo for a performance that is not just heard but felt, a journey that redefines the boundaries of time, technique, and emotion.

As close to flawless as possible, as Bach intended and composed this. God bless your great artistry and talent, good sir. Thanks for sharing. 😊

I keep returning to this one. Of all the Chaconne 's. No edits. Flawless. The timing, especially on those fast runs, is exquisite.

Whenever I hear someone play an instrument as perfectly as this, one thing always springs to mind. We didn't come here merely by accident, but we were created by a being of absolute perfection, love and goodness.Such music can only have sprung from heavenly inspiration

It's basically impossible to get to the end of this piece and not believe in God. You will go through everything the doubt, the fear, the anger, but finally you will accept that there is a higher power.

Bream, Parkening, and Segovia would applaud this magnificent performance of this Bach masterwork. I was so lucky to find it.

This is insane. I do not know this man. I am a Williams lover. But I would put this performance next to the top known 4-5 guitarist and he would hold his own. I don't think he missed 1 note in this BEAR of a piece. I hope he is touring and recoding. Loved this!

Fantastic playing and fine tone. Chaconne is the holy grail of classical guitar and it's Mastery by a player is the culmination of years of study and practice.

I have heared it about 20 times. And every time it moved me. This is definitive the best interpretation of chaconne on all of all the musical instrument that i know. Some breath are so fine... Every time i hear this piece, i fell like play a video, but in double speed. The feeling could be just so complicated and beautiful.

This man is on a mission -- you can see it in his face, and in his body language -- to play the heart and soul out of one of Bach's greatest compositions -- and he succeeds absolutely, totally, and magnificently!
